In this first conversation of the new Truth in the Booth series, Anne Ganguzza welcomes voice actor and coach Tim Powers to explore why authentic voiceover is about much more than simply sounding natural. They dive into subtext, storytelling, emotional connection, predictable performances, character motivation, and the acting skills required to take someone else\u2019s words and make them feel genuinely true. Whether you're working in commercial, corporate narration, animation, or another area of voiceover, the same question remains: What are you really trying to make the listener feel? Anne and Tim also discuss why animation requires emotional truth, why imitation alone isn't enough, how practice builds authentic performance, and why the human ability to interpret and connect with a story remains at the heart of voiceover.
