Lisa Stroth VO:The Voice Of Encouragement

Using my voice as an audiobillboard for your product, project, or service, engaging your audience. If you have a message that needs a voice, let's connect!

Your message/story/brand is important to you, & making sure your target audience is engaged, encouraged, educated, empowered & prompted to act related to it is important to me. I use my voice as a tool, providing engaging voiceover/voicing, & conversational narration to act as an “audiobillboard” for your product, project, or service. After nearly 25 years in the health science & healthcare industry in toxicology, physical therapy, & physical therapy education, God “transplanted” me into the voiceover industry. In 2015, I founded Vocally Yours, LLC, and began to to live God’s purpose for my life by using my voice to engage, encourage, educate, & empower. My voiceover services have been a tool for:
• Engaging training & education
• Inspiration & motivation
• The potential to realize more positive responses to calls to action, & improved retention of educational & training material. I am a Certified Medical Narration Specialist, & combined with my education & healthcare background, am well-qualified to provide narration for healthcare communication & marketing projects. I also provide voicing for
• eLearning
• Corporate training
• Marketing videos
• Phone messaging systems/message on hold
• Non-fiction audiobooks

I have a special interest in faith-based projects, & want to glorify God by using my voice to encourage & empower others with His Word & with the life changing message it brings. This special interest led to the creation of a ministry-based business called The Voice For Purpose. This business allowed me to further develop and utlize my creative giftings, writing devotional pieces and creating products and speaking to encourage others to embrace their identity in Christ and to step out in faith into their God-given purpose. After years in both voiceover and ministry work, I felt God asking me to bring it all together. So I’m merging purpose and profession, with a special focus on narrating faith-based projects, and still offering engaging and motivating voiceover for corporate training, marketing, IVR/phone messaging, and small business needs. Whether it’s scripture or a sales message, I give every word the clarity it deserves.

💡What if the season that feels slow in one area is actually a season of growth somewhere else?

I've been thinking lately about slow seasons. As many of my fellow voice actors know, they're often part of this business. Sometimes the microphone is busy. Sometimes it's quieter.

This has been a quieter season for me for a combination of reasons - some simply the nature of the industry, and some personal.

And to be honest, I wouldn't necessarily have chosen all of it.

I love voiceover work🎙️. And I've especially loved the audiobook narration I've had the privilege of doing in the last couple of years. There's something incredibly satisfying about spending hours with an author's words, finding the heart and rhythm of them, and helping to bring their work to life for a listener. I'm currently waiting for the next manuscript in a three-book series I've been narrating, and I'm genuinely looking forward to getting back behind the mic with it.

But I've also been realizing something:
A slower season isn't necessarily an empty season.

While one part of my business has been quieter, God has been making room for growth in places I might not have explored otherwise.🙏

I've written more.

I've developed devotional journals and other resources that combine my love of words, Scripture, storytelling, and encouragement.

I've stepped further into speaking and am preparing a message for an upcoming women's retreat.

I've explored creativity I didn’t fully realize was within me.

And in a completely different part of my life, my role at the salon has stretched me administratively and as a leader, at times well outside my natural comfort zone.

Even my voiceover work has expanded in ways I didn't necessarily anticipate. Last week I made my studio available for another author to record his own audiobook and will be editing and mastering his work afterward.

And perhaps most importantly, the quieter places have given God room to do some work in me.💝

My faith has deepened. I've learned more about waiting, trusting, listening, surrendering, and continuing to faithfully tend what's already in my hands when I don't know exactly what's coming next.

I'm still a voiceover artist.

But I'm also discovering that the voice God gave me isn't only meant to be used behind a microphone.

Sometimes growth looks like more opportunities.

And sometimes growth looks like God allowing things to become quiet enough that we finally notice the other things He's been growing all along.

I wouldn't necessarily have chosen the slow season.

But I wouldn't give back what has grown in me because of it. 💜

**Have you experienced a slow season in your business? How would you describe that season?**

The glamorous life of a voiceover artist, writer, speaker, and ministry entrepreneur. 😂

Day off from the salon = obviously, we begin here, mowing the grass while it's still a little bit wet with the morning dew.

As I was mowing, I found myself thinking about how grateful I am for the variety of work God has placed in my hands—and about the value of making good use of the spaces in between.

And then I got a little gift.

A hummingbird. 💜

I couldn't get my phone out quickly enough to capture him, but I didn't really need to. Hummingbirds have been unusually scarce around the yard this summer, and seeing that tiny little visitor flitting nearby made my heart so incredibly happy.

Sometimes delight shows up when you're not looking for it.

That realization seems especially appropriate, considering one of the things I'll be working on today is a devotional journal called "Delighting in the Lord." 😊

Since I'm currently waiting for the authors of the next book in a three-book series I'm narrating to send the manuscript my way, it’s not an ideal time to begin a new voiceover project.

So while I wait, I'm tending to what's already in front of me.

Today that literally means tending the grass. 😁 But it also means preparing my sweet little home studio for another author who will be coming in to narrate his own book. My little booth may not be glamorous, but a whole lot of words have come to life behind those curtains! It’s where I’ve recorded and produced audiobooks that meet ACX audio requirements, and I love that I now get to open that space to someone else to bring his words to life, too. Once he records, I’ll be editing and polishing his audio so it’s ready for submission to ACX.

Then there's the work that has become especially close to my heart—the ministry-based side of my business.

I'm putting the refining touches on "Remembering What Is True," my newest devotional journal, beginning work on that next one "Delighting in the Lord," and working on the talk I'll present at a 2-day retreat in November.

Voiceover artist. Audio editor. Writer. Speaker. Encourager. Salon manager.

Occasional lawn mower. 😂

Ten years ago, I couldn't have told you that my life or business would look anything like this. Some of these pieces might not even seem as though they belong together.

But they do.

And maybe that's one of the beautiful things about following God one step at a time. We don't always see what He's building while we're living it. Sometimes we're simply called to faithfully use what's in our hands today, and pay attention to the little gifts He places along the way.

Sometimes waiting for the next thing simply gives us time to tend what God has already placed in our hands.

And every once in a while, He sends a hummingbird through to remind us to delight in it. 💜

Then one day, we look around and realize...

He's been building something all along.

For my fellow Jesus followers:

I'm preparing to speak at an upcoming women's retreat on identity in Christ, and as I've been studying and praying about what to share, I've been thinking a lot about the difference between knowing what God's Word says about us and actually believing it.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Please answer any or all of these that resonate with you:

💜 When you hear the phrase "my identity is in Christ," what does that actually mean to you?

💜 Do you ever struggle to truly believe what God says about who you are—chosen, loved, redeemed, forgiven, His? If so, what makes that difficult?

💜 What are some of the other things we use to identify ourselves or allow the world to use to identify us? Our jobs? Relationships? Appearance? Accomplishments? Failures? Past? What others have said about us?

💜 Why do you think we can wholeheartedly believe God's Word is true and yet still struggle to believe what He says about us personally?

There are no "right" answers here. I'm genuinely interested in hearing your perspective, and you certainly don't need to share anything that feels too personal. (You may also send me a DM if you prefer)

Thank you for helping me listen and learn as I prepare. 💜

"Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world.” ~Robert McKee, professor.

🥰How people engage with that story is the key.

✅Whether it's a training video designed to educate, a devotional created to encourage, or a speech delivered to empower, even the best script falls flat without the right voice.
💡But the RIGHT voice will bring a story - YOUR story- to life.

💝It’s not just about reading—it’s about feeling, because HOW it’s said matters just as much as WHAT is said.

🎙️If you're looking for the right voice for your project, feel free to reach out to [email protected]. I would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you.

I have this dry erase board on the wall in my bathroom. On it, I've written several of my favorite bits of scripture, and some scripture-based truths from one of my favorite Christian authors/speakers, Susie Larson. I look at them just about every day as I'm getting ready and appreciate that they are true regardless of what may be happening in my life or in the world.

Some days, like today, I pray them back to the Lord, and my heart is encouraged and filled with gratitude for what He's doing in my life, and humble anticipation for what He has planned.

Do any of these verses resonate with you? Are there verses that are particularly meaningful in your life? I would love for people to share those verses!

When Hope Shows Up In Unexpected Places, Day 4

What if the struggle you’re in right now is strengthening the wings you'll need to fly?

Over the past few posts I’ve been sharing reflections on hope. What it looks like when life feels uncertain, when the road is difficult, and when we’re waiting on God.

The story in this short video that I wrote and narrated talks of someone who felt she was losing hope, and she asked the Holy Spirit to help her remember what hope felt like. He did just that with a dream of a butterfly emerging from her cocoon.

In the dream, she could feel the pain and difficulty of the emerging process, but the Holy Spirit reminded her that it was necessary. You see, a butterfly cannot fly without first struggling out of the cocoon.

Without the struggle, the butterfly would never develop the strength it needs to rise into the air.

The truth is that sometimes God allows seasons in our lives that feel like that cocoon - tight, uncomfortable, and difficult.

But those moments may be doing something far greater than we can see.

They may be strengthening the very wings we’ll need for the calling ahead. If you are in a difficult space right now, I pray this encourages you to surrender to hope.

🦋 Even in the struggle… hope is at work.

When Hope Shows Up in Unexpected Places, Day 3

If you step outside early in the morning before the sun rises, you may notice something beautiful.

It often begins with a single bird.
Then another joins.
And another.

Within a few minutes the trees are filled with song.

In an article I read a few weeks ago, it said that scientists call this the "dawn chorus."

According to the article, birds sing most intensely at dawn because the air is cooler, denser, and calmer than at any other time of day. Sound travels farther through still morning air, and their songs carry much farther than they would later in the day.

But there’s something else I’ve noticed.

In those early moments, when everything is quiet, it’s easy to recognize the individual birds.

A robin starts.
A cardinal joins.
Then perhaps a sparrow.

Each one has its own song, and in the stillness you can hear them separately.

Later in the day, when the wind picks up and the sounds of life begin, (cars passing, doors closing, people talking) the birds are still singing, but their songs blend into the background. It becomes harder to hear them clearly.

The birds didn’t stop singing.
The environment simply changed.

Sometimes life feels like that.

When circumstances of life are loud and busy, it can feel as though God is silent or distant. We pray and wonder if He hears us or if our prayers are somehow getting lost in the noise.

But God hasn't stopped listening. Perhaps the problem is that the noise around us has simply made His voice harder for us to hear.

Think about the difference between two conversations.

One takes place in a quiet little cafe over a cup of coffee. The other happens in a crowded, bustling diner.

In the quiet cafe, the conversation feels personal and easy. You don’t have to strain to hear the other person’s voice. In the noisy diner, you may have to raise your voice just to be heard, and even then you might miss parts of the conversation.

Not because either person stopped speaking, but because the environment changed.

Maybe that’s one reason Scripture invites us ito "Be still, and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10). The Hebrew word translated “be still” doesn’t simply mean to sit quietly. It carries the idea of letting g. Of releasing our grip. Of ceasing to strive.

In other words, the invitation isn’t just to become physically quiet. It’s an invitation to stop fighting so hard to control everything. To loosen our grip on the worries and questions swirling around us. To surrender the noise inside our hearts and minds long enough to remember who God is. And perhaps when that kind of stillness settles in, His voice becomes easier to recognize- much like the birds singing at dawn, whose individual songs are clear and beautiful in the quiet morning air.

Hope sometimes shows up in unexpected places… even in the quiet moments of an early morning.
