Melissa Exelberth

Union/Non-Union Voiceover Consultant

Melissa comes from a television and motion picture production and distribution background, working in NYC, Madrid, Cannes, Milan and Mexico City – which is where she did her first VO, around 30 years ago. Back home in NYC while working at a commercial production house she started doing more VO work – and that continued to grow as she took a side trip into radio reporting and anchoring traffic and news – for a while from a single engine 2 seater plane 500 feet above the NY metropolitan area, with doors held together with duct tape. Hey, who needs doors, anyway?

She’s been a member of the union for more than 20 years – is now in her 11th year as a full-time VO – and much of the credit for that is due to her ability to marry the union and non-union VO worlds without downgrading to non-member (financial core) or working off the card. She’s helped union members learn how to access certain non-union work, without being in violation of union rules – and she’s helped non-union talent who hope to one day join the union, envision a path that will allow them to keep much of their current work when they do join.

Melissa joined AFTRA in 1998, served on the AFTRA NY Local Board and the Broadcast Steering Committee, and was Taft Hartleyed into SAG before the merger. She now serves on the SAG-AFTRA National Voiceover Performers Committee. But all opinions and advice are her own.

Dani S.

With over 15 years of corporate marketing experience before dipping her toes into the VO waters, Dani brings both business smarts and marketing expertise to every audition, job and client interaction.

She started on January 1, 2014 with a middle of the road microphone, a padded closet, a clear voice and story-telling ability…AND NO EARTHLY IDEA WHAT SHE WAS DOING.

With the help of her two mentors, and the contacts they introduced her to, she was able to quickly grow her business. In 2014, she concentrated on training, used each audition as practice and built her client list from zero to 54 and booking 100 jobs in that first year.

In 2015 and 2016, she continued training and expanding her reach. She cultivated and grew her business primarily through online casting sites, referrals and recurring clients – booking an additional 279 jobs, signing with agents from all areas of the country, adding new clients and nearly replacing her marketing salary.

In addition to voice acting, Dani has a passion for helping new talent navigate the tricky ins and outs of the industry. She’s also developing a new app designed to help voice actors and other creatives track and manage their business.
