## Resource

In this inspiring and honest conversation, Kathryn and Kelly sit down with Tim Friedlander, President and CEO of NAVA (National Association of Voice Actors), to explore the highs, lows, and unexpected turns of a voiceover career. Tim shares how he went nearly 20 years without booking a job, walked away from VO entirely, and then came back to build a thriving full-time career in under two years. From the importance of continued training and coaching to the power of knowing when to quit (and why that’s not failure), Tim opens up about his personal evolution and his passion for protecting the future of the voiceover industry. Whether you're deep in the booth or just finding your voice, this episode is a reminder that it’s never too late to try again and that fulfillment sometimes comes from helping others shine.
