DMF Episode 312 — Voice-over Actress Kris Keppeler (Part 3): "Unlock Your Podcasting Potential: Discover the Secrets to Success!"
Description
Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today I'm diving into the creative world of Kris Keppeler, the voice actress, narrator, and podcaster behind Does This Happen to You? Kris shares how her podcast was born from her love of comedy and storytelling. She first considered writing her own comedic material but quickly realized there were countless amazing stories already out there. That’s when she began reaching out to other writers and narrating their work—launching a podcast that has grown far beyond what she imagined.
Kris discusses how the podcasting landscape has evolved, noting that even in a TikTok-driven world, listeners still crave long-form storytelling. While short clips work well on YouTube, she’s found that deeper narratives resonate more strongly with her audience.
Handling everything herself—from production to editing—Kris even took engineering classes to sharpen her skills. Her narration portfolio has expanded into children’s books, comedy, and even hypnosis.
Networking has been a major part of her journey. A connection with a children’s author on a small business site led to award-winning audio-visual collaborations—an example of how creativity thrives through teamwork.
As Kris continues to grow her podcast and YouTube channel, she’s excited to explore new stories and work with more creators. She encourages anyone interested in podcasting or storytelling to take the leap—there’s a world of stories waiting to be told.
