Voice Actor Peter K. O’Connell is represented by Pastorini-Bosby Talent, which serves voiceover clients in Houston, TX

Jenny Bosby may not manage the day to day at Pastorini-Bosby any more (Cindi Andress is the awesome managing agent today) but it was great to visit with her in 2008 when I signed with them.

She was very nice (not all agents are) and seemed genuinely interested in her talent (again…not all agents are).

Today, Cindi and her team continue to be just as nice and very responsive to both their talent and their clients.

I’m really pleased to be with PB Talent going on 17 years now.

Voice Actor Peter K. O’Connell is represented by Moxie Talent, which serves voiceover clients in Kansas and Missouri from their Kansas City< MO headquarters

It’s now been eleven years since I signed on to have Moxie Talent be my agent in Kansas City (both states).

My friend Dan Hurst had told me about the (at the time) new talent agency that Stacey Siegert had founded, when we were at dinner with some other KC based voiceover friends.

Not being one to waste time, next day, before I headed to the airport, I stopped by the Moxie Talent offices.

Stacey was (is) super cool, we talked a bit about my work, her agent history and by the next day the deal was done.

She’s grown Moxie significantly over the past eleven years but it is still the place to find great models, on-screen talent and voice actors in Kansas and Missouri.

Voice Actor Peter K. O’Connell is represented by Heyman Talent Artist Agency, which serves voiceover clients in the mid-West from their Cincinnati, OH headquarters

I’ve never asked Lynne Heyman if she regretted taking my call back in 2006

I’m glad she did.

I reached out to Lynne back then about voiceover representation and we hit it off immediately. She clearly was very focused and protective of her talent (voice actors, models, on-screen actors, even stylists) and only wanted the best for them.

19 years later, I’m still with Heyman but Laura VonHolle has -for a while now – been successfully running the show for Heyman. The agency has an office not only in Cincinnati (“Go Big Red Machine!”) but also Columbus, Louisville and Indianapolis.

Voice Actor Peter K. O’Connell is represented by Big Mouth Talent, which serves voiceover clients worldwide from their Chicago, IL headquarters

It was going to be a cold day in hell when I got a national voiceover agent, based in Chicago, IL.

It was and I did.

February is generally a cold month in Chicago (which isn’t really hell except for those few days I’m about to tell you about) but in 2019, February in Chicago was setting all time cold temperature records.

And of course, I happened to be there at that time when I voiceover client contacted me for a recording.

Fortunately I was in downtown when the request came in. So in my search, I came across the Chicago Recording Company. It was pretty close to my hotel so I walked over (‘the cold never bothered me anyway’). Great studio, nice people, they liked my work and they recommended that I reach out to Chicago-based voice talent agency Big Mouth Talent.

I’ve been doing whatever my agent there, Kelly Wilkening, tells me to do ever since.

Please feel free to reach out to Kelly about working with me on your next voiceover project.

Voice Actor Peter K. O’Connell is represented by The Sheppard Agency, which serves voiceover clients worldwide from their Austin, TX headquarters

When I first met Erik Sheppard of The Sheppard Agency (originally founded under the name Voice Talent Productions), Erik himself was a voiceover talent.

But clearly the man loved the art of the deal. He’s very good at it.

Don’t hold me to this but I believe I was one of the founding voices of Erik’s voiceover agency (there were dozens of us)…I remember getting the call from him if I would be interested in signing on. I’ve never regretted saying yes.

Please feel free to reach out to Erik about working with me on your next voiceover project.

Comments Off on Peter K. O’Connell’s Voiceover Agent – Sheppard Agency

Back in April of 2014,  I was in Kansas City and I grabbed dinner with fellow voiceover friends Dan Hurst, Andy Barnett, and Matt Wiewel at a great BBQ joint (well Kansas City is full of them).

As we chatted a lot and ate even more. the conversation turned to voiceover agents in the KC area and I was told about a new agency that had recently opened called Moxie Talent Agency.

The next day, I drove over to see the folks at Moxie Talent — well actually, because it was so new, I only remember meeting Stacey Siegert, Moxie’s owner.

We had a very nice chat about my voiceover business.

At first she was afraid I was looking to become a male on-camera model…I said “never” and she said “thank god!” (I made that last part up).

Stacey and I set up a voiceover representation agreement within a few days that is still going strong today.

It’s really not my place to say I’m proud of Stacey and her (now much bigger) team but it IS an amazing accomplishment for anyone in the performing arts or operating a supporting business for the performing arts (like a talent agency) to remain around for 10+ years. Even thought Stacey and Moxie may make it look so, longevity is NOT easy in the performing arts.

I’m grateful for Moxie Talent Agency’s support and am glad to be a part of her agency’s voiceover roster for all these years.
