Building Doors with Christy Harst | The Pro Audio Suite

This week, The Pro Audio Suite breaks tradition — and smashes a few stereotypes along the way — as we welcome Christy Harst to the show.

Christy is a voice actor and founder of Building Doors, a grassroots movement dedicated to creating opportunities for women in male-dominated sectors like sports, automotive, gaming, and tech voiceover. After years of hitting roadblocks, Christy decided to stop waiting for the industry to change — and started building her own doors.

In this wide-ranging, real, and sometimes confronting conversation, we dive into:

  • The harsh realities facing women in promo and commercial VO today

  • Why even major brands are missing huge opportunities by ignoring female voices

  • The importance of representation in creating real cultural change

  • How grassroots support — a like, share, or tag — can directly impact a voice actor's career

  • Christy's global plans for Building Doors, including expansions into Australia, Egypt, and the UK

The Pro Audio Suite proudly stands behind Building Doors and its mission.
If you believe in a more inclusive, forward-thinking voiceover industry, you can help in three simple ways: 👉 Follow, like, and share Building Doors' posts — even one click makes a difference.
👉 Tune into their podcast and live events to hear inspiring voices and real stories.
👉 Buy Christy a coffee — every small donation helps fund wider campaign efforts.
