Speaker Bio
Liz Klausner has been working in the world of Voice Overs since her career began at Paradigm Talent Agency in 2008. She spent countless hours in the recording booth directing actors while also assisting two very busy agents in the Promo Dept. After 4 very fun years at Paradigm, Liz accepted a position at Innovative Artists as an On Camera Commercial Agent. This was a very exciting & educational period of her career exploring another genre of the industry representing On Camera Actors as well as professional models. However, in September 2015 three years
into her time at IA, Liz missed Voice Overs and JMT (Jason Marks Talent) managing Voice Over artists, primarily in the Trailer world. It’s during this time that she was also offered a position as an Adjunct Professor at PACE University in 2016 teaching a course titled, “The Business of Voice Over” which will forever be a cherished experience especially as she now represents one of those students!
Shortly after her third year anniversary working as a manager for JMT, she was invited back to Paradigm (to replace one of her original bosses as a Voice Over Agent in the NY Commercial dept. This decision felt like a “return to her roots” but was sadly short-lived as the pandemic forced Paradigm to lay off the entire Voice Over/ Commercial crew. Therefore, in April 2020, Liz joined KMR Talent alongside her colleagues, Matt Ambrosia and Matt Smith to further develop & expand their boutique-sized VO department. During this period, she began working in the
audiobook, podcast and dubbing scenes while continuing to also cover commercial, promo, video games and animation jobs for her clients. As of 2024, Liz Klausner is fortunate to say that she has worked in every aspect of the Voice Over industry which is a skillset she brings to her current position as an agent at DPN Talent. She and her teammates began the NY branch of DPN on March 18th 2024 bringing along an entire roster of artists and actors from their previous agency. It’s here that she plans on cultivating more diverse & creative opportunities for her clients while also growing an awareness around the power of the human voice. Liz is based out of Beacon, NY in the gorgeous Hudson Valley where she enjoys spending time in nature & volunteering with the local community theater.
