## Resource

In this episode, we’re joined by Queen Noveen — an Emmy-nominated live announcer and voice actress whose voice has powered everything from major sports and awards shows to film, TV, and commercials. We dive into what live announcing actually entails, the preparation and pressure behind the mic, and why it’s far more than “just reading a script.” Queen shares stories from high-profile events, reflects on making history with the first all-female PA announcing team for the 49ers, and offers practical advice on how event organizers can better support on-camera and live talent. A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at a role that shapes the energy of live events in real time.
