Meet Kelly Moscinski

We recently connected with Kelly Moscinski and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Kelly, thank you so much for opening up with us about some important, but sometimes personal topics. One that really matters to us is overcoming Imposter Syndrome because we’ve seen how so many people are held back in life because of this and so we’d really appreciate hearing about how you overcame Imposter Syndrome.

I still remember standing in the recording studio early in my career, looking out to a lobby full of industry veterans. These were people whose résumés and reputations seemed far more impressive than mine could ever be. And there I was, silently wondering, “Who let me in here?”

That voice in my head, the one I now lovingly refer to as my “pessimistic co-pilot,” was loud back then. It told me I wasn’t experienced enough, smart enough, or just plain “enough” to deserve my seat at the table. But here’s what I realized: no one else in the room was questioning my right to be there… only me.

The turning point came when I stopped seeing imposter syndrome as some sort of “proof” I was unqualified and started seeing it as evidence that I cared deeply about doing great work. That shift was huge. Instead of letting that voice paralyze me, I let it push me to prepare better, listen more closely, and show up as my most authentic self, not as the “perfect professional” I thought everyone expected.

By changing my mindset and how I showed up, imposter syndrome lost its power. I know it’s not gone forever, of course. In fact, I think it visits anyone who is truly stretching themselves, but now I recognize it’s a sign that I’m in the right place, growing into the next version of myself.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I’m the Owner and Head of Casting at “The Voicecaster”, a Los Angeles-based voiceover casting company that’s been casting voices for various projects since 1975. From commercials and video games to promos and narration, I get to work with talent all over the world… and what excites me most is creating a space where they can bring their most authentic selves to the mic.

That passion led me to launch our on-demand training platform “Voicecaster Lab” which houses the “Voicecaster Insiders Membership”, an ongoing community for voice actors. It’s part training, part business strategy, part mindset coaching, and all about helping talent grow, connect, and thrive in their careers.

Through my coaching and speaking brand, “Authentically Unfiltered”, I offer career coaching and personal development to help creatives and professionals build confidence, improve communication, and align their work with who they truly are. Whether it’s keynotes at events or one-on-one coaching, my focus is on empowering people to step into opportunities with clarity and courage.

I’m also the founder of the “Blank Pages Initiative” nonprofit providing theatre, music, and creative workshops and opportunities for people of all ages. Our mission is simple but powerful: help people discover their voice, build confidence, and share their stories.

Right now, I’m excited about new content coming to The Voicecaster Lab, my podcasts “Voiceover Casting Corner” and “Creative Imperfections”, upcoming speaking engagements, and the next phase of outreach for Blank Pages.

Yes, these are all different platforms sharing one mission: helping people own their voice and use it to change their world.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

When I look back, the first quality that really shaped my career was authenticity. In the beginning, I thought success meant fitting into a certain mold. Over time, I learned that my greatest strength came from leaning into who I truly am, not who I thought I should be. Authenticity builds trust, connection, and confidence, and those things are essential no matter what field you are in. My advice is to stop chasing “perfect” and start practicing showing up as yourself. The more you do, the more the right opportunities will find you.

The second is adaptability. The voiceover industry, like any creative career, is always changing. Technology evolves, needs shift, and trends come and go. I have worn many hats in my career, and each role taught me something I could carry into the next. My advice is to stay curious and open – learn new skills, explore different avenues, and don’t be afraid to try something outside your comfort zone.

The third is relationships. No career grows in isolation; but the typical form of networking isn’t the way to go either. Every opportunity I’ve had has come from genuine connections with other humans – talent, clients, colleagues, and community. These were not just “networking” contacts. They were relationships built on respect, kindness, and collaboration. My advice is to focus on giving, not just getting. Show up for others, support their wins, and be someone people can count on. The return will often come in ways you could never predict.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. If you focus on being real, staying flexible, and building strong relationships, the rest will grow from there.

As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?

I think the most important book is my passport. It’s quite literally the book to other worlds, to other places, to adventure. I’ve been traveling a lot this year for various events and conferences and I truly feel that travel is the best way to learn about the world and learn about yourself.

If we’re talking actual books that you read, then I’d say one of the most impactful books in my personal and professional development has been Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. It came into my life the first time when I was wrestling with that nagging voice that taunts, “What if you fail?” or “Who do you think you are to do this?” I had big dreams and ideas that I was just waiting to put into the world. This book helped me break free and move forward on those ideas (which are now major successes!).

What I love about Big Magic is how it reframes the creative process. Gilbert reminds us that fear will always be a passenger on the journey, but it does not get to drive. That concept alone freed me from feeling like I had to wait until I was fearless to take action. I learned to acknowledge fear (my pessimistic co-pilot), give it a seat in the car, and then keep steering toward what excites me.

Another big takeaway was her idea that inspiration is something to be honored, not hoarded. She talks about creative ideas as living things that will find someone else if you do not act on them. That shifted how I approach my own ideas. Instead of overthinking or waiting for the “perfect” time, I moved faster to bring them to life.

Big Magic also reinforced that curiosity is just as valuable as passion. Some of my best work has come from simply following what I am curious about, even when I did not have a clear plan for where it would lead.

For me, this book is a reminder that creativity and courage are not about eliminating doubt or risk, but about showing up anyway and letting the process be as magical as the result.
