The Voice Over Artist

IG Announcement - Grown Up (1).png

Voice over artist Derek Botten grew up as a gearhead, but when it came to choosing his career path he went in the opposite direction. After a long career in radio, Derek found himself in a place where he had to make a change -- and he made entrepreneur-flavoured lemonade from those lemons. Avery chats with Derek about going from a gregarious Monty Python mimicker to a business owner with a voice in the game.
