Aircheck: Radio Stories

Brian Kelsey is a full-time voice-over artist. For the past 20 years, you've heard Brian’s voice on CNN, MSNBC, The Howard Stern Show, MTV, VH-1, NBC, CBS, HGTV and so many others. In addition, Brian voices countless radio stations across the county, and a wide variety of commercials. Radio imaging, an audio book, a documentary, cartoon characters or 'movie trailer', know that Brian may be the voice on the microphone.

Brian started as a radio host and voice actor, working in New York City radio on legendary stations such as Q-104.3/WAXQ-FM and 92.3 K-ROCK/WXRK-FM. It was at K-ROCK where Brian met Howard Stern and began working for him as a writer, producer and as the 'voice' of the Howard Stern Show. After years of voice-over's and creating ridiculous bits for Howard, the opportunity to work for Martha Stewart presented itself. Brian became the host of a 4 hour live talk show on Martha Stewart Living Radio, nationwide 5 days a week. During this time he started doing appearances on Martha's TV show demonstrating DIY projects. As a licensed contractor with extensive knowledge in this space the visibility led to appearances on The Today Show, HGTV, FOX, and eventually landed Brian a short run home renovation television show on NBC called 'Kelsey On The House'. All along the way he played the role of editor, cinematographer, producer and continued in the voice overs industry. Brian also started a YouTube channel centered around media & tv/podcast production. This led to building a ridiculous television talk show set in his garage and ultimately seeing who is brave enough to stop by.

Part one of four includes Brian explaining why he built a late night TV set in his garage for his latest project 10 Minutes with Brian Kelsey, who he modeled the desk after, that he also built and how he found the specs. His love for a late night TV hosts and the guests he HAS had on his show and those who rejected to appear.
