Geoff Allan: From Resorts to Rehearsals

You know Geoff Allan's voice. No, really, you do. If you've ever
heard an ad for Burger King, Bud Light, or Hardee's, you've
probably heard Geoff's dulcet tones announcing the return of the
biggest burger you've ever seen. I've certainly heard Geoff
enough to recognize that baritone anywhere- although I suppose I
have an advantage. He is my second cousin, after all.


As his cousin, I can tell you that Geoff has always had a
fantastic voice. So, of course, it was only natural for him to
finish school and get straight into... the hotel business. Yes,
Geoff was a world-travelling hotel manager for most of his adult
life. He'd always had a passion for radio and voiceover, but it
wasn't until he was in his 50's, and in Dubai of all places, that
he was able to hit the airwaves. Nowadays, he's been a
professional voiceover artist for years, with training from
industry veterans in L.A., Toronto, Montreal and Dubai.


In this episode, we dive into Geoff's journey from suites to
studios. We talk about how he found the opportunity to make such
a dramatic career change, where it's taken him, where he'll go in
the future, and how much he's learned from his time as a
voiceover pro. We also do a hefty bit of reminiscing about the
past. If nothing else, Geoff's story stands as a shining example
that it's never too late to start doing what you love.
