Our guest is Satauna Howery, a blind voiceover artist with over a decade of experience transforming the written word into sound. Satauna introduced herself by saying, “I grew up in Southern California, and I was born blind. I don’t have any sight at all—no light perception, no shadows, no color, no anything.” Despite this, she pursued her passions from an early age. As a child, Satauna discovered her love of music. She learned to play the piano, performed at charity events, and later expanded her musical repertoire with a drum machine and synthesizer. Her journey took a pivotal turn as a teenager when she gained access to the equipment she needed to learn and record her own content.
