Audiobook narrator Mike Lenz knows a thing or two about audio - and with over 200 audiobooks to his credit, I'd call him a true word master! Besides his narration chops, Mike is also a Voice Arts Award nominated podcast producer and host, with an equally storied career as a Pharmacist and Mayor of Saratoga Springs in upstate New York! I mean, can you say multifaceted??? Sharing stories from his coaches Sean Pratt, Jeffrey Kafer and actor P.J. Ochlan, Mike explains the intricate details of the voice business, helpful tips for both first time and veteran narrators, how his hobby - side hustle - part time gig led to a successful audiobook career, and oh that story about bread making. Bring along your ear buds and listen in!

About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:

Join me as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk all about media. Could be radio, television, audiobooks, music, film, voiceovers - if they've worked in media, we're talkin'! Unscripted and nearly always entertaining, each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz; from where they started to how it's going. Join us in the studio where drinks are always on ice; music + media are the conversation starters. New episodes every other Tuesday. Thanks so much for listening! - Donna
