(Pt 1 of 4) Greg O’Brien, the O-B, is a nationally recognized voice over veteran for the Television and Radio industries. Greg’s booming pipes were first heard on the air in New York’s Hudson Valley in the late 1980s, before making the move to the recording studio in the early 2000s. He is currently founder and head of his own voice over company, Greg O’Brien Voiceovers, www.gregobrienvo.com

Originally from Ramsey, New Jersey, Greg’s Radio career began as an intern at 102.7 WNEW/New York during his late 20s while working in the banking industry. Those years were essential to Greg in developing an appreciation for Radio, while receiving hands on knowledge and experience from the heritage WNEW air staff, including Dave Herman, Scott Muni. Carol Miller and Ray White among others. Just up the New York State Thruway, there was an on-air position opening at WPDH/Poughkeepsie. Greg got the job, and as the Dyson family owned Crystal Radio Group grew, adding more Radio Stations to its portfolio, Greg segued into Programming.

As Radio Ownership changes began to happen with these Radio Stations, Greg decided to pursue his passion for the voiceover industry. After spending 14 years with Bill Young Productions as a national voice talent, Greg stepped out on his own to begin his own voiceover company.

In part one of this four part AIRCHECK session, Greg tells us about his very nontraditional career path. It’s a journey that brought Greg from the banking industry to an internship at New York’s 102.7 WNEW-FM, on-air talent, Program Director, and into the Voiceover industry.
