We had the good fortune of connecting with MARC GRAUE and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi MARC, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I started my studios, Marc Graue Voice Over & Post, in East Hollywood, in a guest house behind a landlord that couldn’t understand what all these voice over people and Celebs were doing coming and going. I’m sure he was convinced I was selling drugs or something. Half the house was a recording studio, complete with booth and I did well enough there to move into a commercial building in Hollywood that eventually tripled in size and when the area got a little too rough I moved the studios to Burbank where they’ve been for the past 40 plus years!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
The voice over business has changed dramatically both as a business model and with technology advances but at it’s core, voice talent needs to connect on an emotional level with whoever the audience is. Whether it’s commercials, animation, video games or narrating a reality show you your voice is what’s driving the project so again you need to connect!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Korea Town, Downtown LA , Philippe’s, The westside. The Castaway in Burbank, The Magic Castle
