About
Ambitious, accomplished, and full of dynamic energy – this is Betheny Zolt in a single star gaze. When digging into her deeper light, you’ll find a voice over artist, on-camera actress, host, and spokesperson with brilliant warmth, notorious wit, a passion for – and knack for selling – all things Earth, beauty and health friendly, and a work-ethic that can’t be matched.
This Los Angeles native took to the entertainment industry early on and has been honing her performance talent and skills with unwavering dedication and discipline ever since.
Betheny has been fortunate to work on many on-camera gigs in commercials, films, and television shows. But her true break came in the world of voiceover. Betheny has had the pleasure and honor of being the voice of many networks such as Hallmark Channel, SYFY, Paramount Plus, TV Land, Bally Sports, Style, and Pac-12 Network, has booked a multitude of commercial campaigns (national and regional) for big brands such as Toyota, Skinnygirl Alcohol, Windex, Woolite, Nextgard, AT&T and TJ Max (to name a few), has announced live awards shows such as CMT Music Awards, Miss USA, and Miss Universe, worked on video games, narration, corporate videos, e-learning, training videos, pilot series, animation series, and is still currently working as the voice of several networks and shows, and has several commercial campaigns running.
Working mainly out of her professional, fully equipped Los Angeles based home studio (she also loves to travel to studios for work) she records from her Whisper Room, with state of the art equipment and programs such as Source Connect, Phone Patch, and Neumann and Sennheiser microphones. Betheny is primed and excited to deliver the highest quality audio – precisely when and how you need it.
She gives her creative all to everything she does, especially her audiences. Her resume, international success, repeat clients, and reliability are how she proves her longevity in the voice over world. And her versatile, connective, confident, and up-to-the-minute cool voice, speaks for the rest.
Take your sound to the skies with Betheny – where your story’s stardom is just a voiceover away.
Coaching
Voice Over is not just about having a “cool voice” or how many characters you can create. Sure, that’s part of it, but besides vocal talent, the VO world is a business. It’s how to make a connection with copy, with your audience, knowing what words to highlight, the cadence and pace of the reads, as well as understanding what the clients are looking for. It’s an art, first and foremost because your job is to make words come to life.
Do you feel passionate about wanting to get into the Voice Over world but don’t know where to start? How do you get representation? What is the equipment you will need? Maybe you already have representation but are not booking as much as you could? Union or non-union? So many elements to cover.
Don’t worry…I am here to help. With over 15 years of experience in the Voice Over world, having booked hundreds of commercials, national network promo jobs, explainer videos, live announce, industrials, and more, and being repped by some of the biggest agents and management coast to coast, I can give you insight on how to break into the business, demo reels and equipment you will need, give you tips and tricks on how to tighten up your reads so your booking rate increases, and also coach you on your auditions. I would love to start working with you so you can build up your confidence, pursue your passion and learn what it takes to be successful in this business.
- Business Coaching sessions run for 60 minutes
- Audition coaching is booked in 10 minute increments
- All payments made through PayPal or Venmo prior to sessions.

Morning routine and self care.
💥It’s important to make time to feel good and get “done up”. As a single mom, yoga clothes and a hat are my daily go-to these days. So when I get a chance to dress up for “me”, it feels really good.
What’s your get ready routine?

When you’re at home all day with a sick little one who’s been stir crazy all week and finally broke her fever…you play Twister. Gets the body moving. Apparently my dog wanted in on the action.
Connection is what it’s all about. #twister #kidgames #fun #momdaughter #igreels
🎙️Reading copy and sounding natural can be challenging to say the least! We read thinking we sound natural but when we listen back to ourselves, we realize we can sound robotic and like we are just reading words with no meaning. Here are my five secrets to sounding natural while recording voice over:
🎤1. Smile. It’s very evident in your reads! We can all hear a smile.
🎤2. Adding micro pauses while reading makes it sound more natural and not like one long run on sentence. We all pause naturally while speaking so we can incoirate that while reading copy as well.
🎤3. Stand up if you need more every. It shifts the tone and makes it sound more alive.
🎤4. Always listen back to your recording to see if you need to change something or where you could enhance the read. You may hear something you like.
🎤5. Never ever sound like you’re reading. That’s a NO NO. Have perspective on what you are saying. Formulate an opinion about it and let that come through.

Always love hanging out with these two @lauragriertravel and @therkenhoff87 and enjoying LA evening. Being a native Angelino, I love celebrating my city of dreams that become reality. Entertainment is not “easy”. Being an artist has its challenges, but when your passions drive you, you’ll never work a day in your life.
