Our staff members have such a wide variety of backgrounds and unique personalities. From working VO actors starring in movies, video games, and national TV commercial campaigns, to producers spending their days working on voice-over demos as well as broadcast voice-over work, to copywriters, casting directors and many other industry skills in between! We genuinely love bringing our expertise and our experiences together to create the best programs for our students.<\/p>\n<p>For this week\u2019s staff spotlight, we\u2019d like to introduce you one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.suchavoice.com\/services\/voice-over-classes\/\">voice-over class<\/a> instructors, Will Kamp.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suchavoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/will_kamp-200x300.jpg\" \/>SAV: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hi Will! Thanks for taking the time to speak with us. We\u2019re so happy to have you on the SAV team! What appealed to you in the voice-over industry? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kamp:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I love the flexibility this industry allows for. Working from my place in Chicago, or my hometown San Diego, or a couple weeks in Costa Rica, makes me a pretty happy fella! I also enjoy that it allows one to be creative and a little goofy. Getting paid to play around is awesome!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell us more about the live classes you teach. What can students expect to learn in these classes?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kamp: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like to have the students walk away feeling inspired, and hopefully they learn a lot that surprised them about this industry. The voice-over industry is always changing, and there are so many opportunities for new people to begin their own journey. It\u2019s exciting to see people get pumped up about pursuing their dreams and goals in this field of work!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What advice do you have to offer to those who are just getting started in voice-overs?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kamp: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about WHY you want to do it. Be clear on what your big picture goals are because that will always continue to push you through the beginning stages of this business. Remember, it\u2019s about having fun and pursuing your passion. Success won\u2019t come overnight, but if you\u2019re clear on your WHY, it all adds up for a very fun and exciting journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: \u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you like the most about your hometown?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kamp: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">San Diego is the best city! I love everything about it (except not having a winning sports team). The weather is great and I love the fact that you can literally do ANYTHING you want within a two-hour drive. You can ski, surf, dirtbike, go to another country, hike, root for the Dodgers to lose! Anything you want to do is right there for ya. Oh, and California burritos from hole-in-the-wall taco shops. That\u2019s a must.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If someone narrated your life, who would you want to be the narrator?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kamp: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tom Hanks or Paul Newman, if we could get a time machine up in here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What odd food combinations do you really enjoy?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kamp: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peanut butter and jelly on a hamburger. Yup. I\u2019m serious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s something that will always be in fashion to you, no matter how much time passes?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kamp: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third Eye Blind and\/or any 90\u2019s alternative rock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: \u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the most adventurous thing you\u2019ve ever done?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kamp:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I lived in Madrid, Spain for a little while tutoring English to Spanish families, and on my off time, I traveled through Europe on my own. Traveling solo is a must for everybody in my opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Would you rather watch Star Wars or Star Trek? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kamp: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neither. Not a fan of anything sci-fi. I know, I know&#8230;many people hate me for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the funniest joke you know by heart?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kamp: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I love comedy and I adore doing comedy improv but the only standard jokes I know by heart are cheesy dad jokes. How do hockey players kiss? &#8211; They PUCKer up. \u00a0*high five*. Thank you, thank you. I\u2019ll be here all week.
