A NOTE FROM MIKE
Hi, I’m Mike Lenz.
I’m a professional voice actor, audiobook narrator, author, and podcast producer/host. I really appreciate you stopping by!
I love being a voice actor and helping clients give voice to their projects, but my life didn’t always look this way. In fact 15 years ago my life looked a lot different than it does today.
Back then I was running my small brick and mortar business and serving as Mayor of my hometown. I served in politics for about 10 years and, having always been a creative person, I enjoyed the communication part of serving as Mayor – speaking to groups, and doing radio and television interviews.
After leaving politics, I had a lot of free time to explore other passions. One of those passions – screenwriting – led me to a filmmakers group, and at one of our meetings, a marketing representative from a voice training company came and passed out flyers. I decided to check out the company and as soon as I took my first lesson I was hooked.
I’m thrilled to now be able to work full-time recording audio books, voicing eLearning projects, explainer and corporate videos, on-hold messaging, real estate videos, and commercials, all from my professional home recording studio.
As much as I love helping my clients, it’s also very important to me to help others who might not be as far along on their journey. That’s why I wrote my book, created my online course and launched my VO podcast. I meet so many incredible people and I’m thrilled to share what I’ve learned and learn from them as well.
Thanks again for visiting, and please connect with me. I’d love to talk with you about your next project!
