Today we speak with Joe Guay. He is a voiceover actor from Palm Desert, California. His voice is in commercials, e-learning and web videos for clients all over the globe.
Joe began writing publicly in 2021. His articles and essays have been featured on Katie Couric Media, YourTango.com and Medium.
A self-described "recovering people-pleaser with a snarky side,” Joe writes on topics such as mental health, surviving the world of showbiz, self-awareness and authenticity. He also covers LGBTQ issues, world travel, books, and more.
Today we interview Joe and read his story “My Quirky Respect for Seniors, Thanks to Mom’s ‘Awful’ Meals on Wheels Route.”

So to just be talking about it openly now is wonderful…”
“…I like showbiz. I love people that have showbiz stories. They don't all want to talk about it. Some of them had a bad experience with showbiz, but some were actors, some were composers, some were makeup artists or camera people. I find it really fascinating to connect with them. And I guess that does come a little bit with the empathy of knowing how to talk to them as humans and not just be, how are you doing today?…”
