Episode Why the "Oscars" of Voice Acting Almost Never Happened | Rudy Gaskins #39 Cover

Why the "Oscars" of Voice Acting Almost Never Happened | Rudy Gaskins #39

Why are the most recognizable voices in the world almost invisible? In this episode of Ego Was Here, Emmy-winning television producer and director Rudy Gaskins reflects on the idea behind SOVAS (the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences), the organization he co-founded with his wife and business partner Joan Baker. Starting behind the scenes in television, Rudy worked on major projects including Emmy-winning promotions for the 2000 Summer Olympics for NBC. Through hiring voice actors, he saw how essential their work was, and how little recognition they received. That gap became the foundation for SOVAS, a platform built to bring visibility to the entire field. He speaks about the resistance they faced, the criticism from within the community, and the moments where the project felt uncertain. Building something new required persistence and a clear sense of purpose. For Rudy, success is less about recognition and more about creating something people can actually use. Something that connects people, creates opportunity, and brings a community together.

Episode Not Everyone Wants You to Speak Up | Tara Beier #38 Cover

Not Everyone Wants You to Speak Up | Tara Beier #38

What happens when you try to protect your mother and she turns against you? In this episode of Ego Was Here, singer-songwriter Tara Beier shares the moments that shaped her relationship with her family. As a teenager, she stepped in during a confrontation at home to protect her mother. Years later, she stood in front of a room full of strangers and spoke about what happened, and it changed how her family saw her. She talks about what it’s like to go against your own family, how those dynamics shift over time, and what it takes to find your footing again when that foundation changes. With a background in criminology, she also offers a broader perspective on why people stay silent, why certain patterns repeat, and how difficult it can be to be heard when the truth challenges everything around you. This is a conversation about speaking up, dealing with the consequences, and learning how to move forward without easy answers.
