Ohhh man. Rivalry week. Just about every team has them. Washington/Dallas. Chicago/Green Bay. Atlanta/New Orleans (although that one has faded recently). And when your most-hated rival comes to town you can “throw out the schedules” as they say. But when the Steelers call it always gives me a charge. I’ve been voicing their in-stadium, online and other content for a while and I absolutely love it! They usually want that old-school Facenda-ish read that makes you almost smell the “frozen tundra of Lambeau Field”. And they said to really lean into it. It’s like Thanksgiving came early. What a great organization to work with and what it honor it continues to be.

Both podcasts – same exact interview.
In this dual episode of Studio B RVA and the Good Eye Podcast, the conversation is with Melissa Vaughan, President of WRIR, Richmond’s independent community radio station. She took over in 2020. She had previously acted as Volunteer Coordinator. Since taking over as WRIR’s fearless leader, she has spearheaded growth, expanded programming, volunteer and fundraising for the station and even led efforts to buy a new building so the station could grow further and increase its service to the community.
Laura Faison is the Chief Communications Officer for Goodwill of Central and Coastal Virginia. We discuss creating Halloween costumes from repurposed materials available at Goodwill, sustainability practices, Goodwill’s mission, donation policies and more.

A couple spots to note. The images below show a few spots along the route to be aware of due to faster and heavier traffic. They are short, but being ready for them will go a long way toward keeping everyone safe.
Commercial
Manifesto Video
The agency wanted two different reads for essentially the same campaign with the same message. The commercial read had a bit of a wink, was straightforward and warranted delivery of the message quickly and efficiently. It was to have a gruff, honest, hardworking vibe. The manifesto video needed a similar approach, but it was more measured. You’re leaning in a little more, relating, sharing. The blue-collar element is there but it’s pulled back a bit, almost documentary-style for folks who know a hard day’s work.
These two projects are what I love about VO. They’re very similar, but they also have very distinct differences that need to be communicated in a subtle manner. Direction and communication of the writer’s vision is key and the agency did a great job helping me to storyboard it in my mind so that I didn’t screw it up. Aside from post-production (the unsung heroes of the creative process), voiceover is one of the last steps – from concept to finished product. Often, the VO won’t even know if they’ve nailed it until they see the final. You can pretty much know based on how the session went and how you felt about your performance, but you never know for sure until you see how all the elements come together.
