Real stories from a real voiceover career. Linda Bruno pulls back the curtain on life inside the booth, sharing the wins, the mistakes, and the lessons that shape a long career behind the mic.
Stories and lessons from inside the booth.
This is voiceover without the highlight reel.
In this candid, funny, and sometimes painfully honest podcast, veteran voice actor and coach Linda Bruno shares real stories from more than 30 years behind the mic. The great sessions, the train wreck sessions, the clients you never forget, and the moments that quietly change how you work forever. Nothing is polished for appearances. This is the stuff that actually happens in a career built inside a padded room with a microphone.
Each episode mixes storytelling, humor, and hard-earned lessons from a lifetime in the booth. You’ll hear about mistakes that turned into breakthroughs, awkward moments that became funny later, and the mindset shifts that keep a creative career alive. It’s part memoir, part survival guide, and part reminder that even seasoned pros are figuring it out as they go.
Whether you’re a working voice actor, a student, or just someone curious about what life behind the mic really looks like, this show pulls back the curtain and lets you sit in the booth for a while.
No filters. No industry fluff. Just real experiences, real laughs, and the truth about building a life in voiceover.

Online Casting Platform Bodalgo is unique in many ways. With a smaller roster of talent who are personally vetted, and a transparent platform that puts voice talent first, The Gurus just had to chat with the founder, Armin Hierstetter. It’s real talk with amazing industry folks. Would you expect anything less from the Voiceover Gurus?
A little about Armin Hierstetter:
Armin Hierstetter, born in 1970, is a German entrepreneur most well known as the founder of bodalgo, a multi-award-winning and leading online casting platform for voiceover talents. Since its launch in early 2008, bodalgo has become an integral part of the backbone of the voiceover industry. The website features more than 12,000 professionals from all over the world.
Before turning to the vo business, Armin worked in publishing for close to two decades, most notably as Deputy Editor of "PENTHOUSE" and highly successful teenage magazine "Sugar" as well as Publishing Director for "FHM". He also has a degree in "Media Marketing".
Armin lives with his wife and two daughters in Munich, Bavaria.

JJ Wilson and Linda Bruno are back, this time to talk about Agents and Red Flags. They also gab about some VO nonsense but if you know how they work, you’re used to it by now. Sometimes, you just gotta chat about stuff with no goal in mind to get nuggets of information.
