We were lucky to catch up with Montel Moore recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Montel thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.

I believe that artistic talent is, in part, a natural gift—something inherently woven into us. However, true mastery requires refinement, discipline, and an ongoing commitment to learning. My journey as a musician began at a young age. I always had a deep love for music, but in the beginning, I lacked the technical understanding necessary to fully harness my voice. Concepts like breath control, tonal adjustments, and dynamics were things I had yet to explore. For a long time, I was confined by my own stylistic habits, thinking the way I sang was the only way.

That curiosity to push beyond my limits led me to study at Lindenwood University, where I trained under exceptional professors who challenged me to expand my range, develop control, and truly understand the intricacies of my instrument—my voice. As I honed my craft, I also began exploring how to turn my passion into a career. I immersed myself in research on freelancing, contracts, agreements, and the power of versatility in an industry that rewards adaptability.

Looking back, if there were a way to accelerate my learning process, it would have been by embracing discipline and patience sooner. The biggest challenge wasn’t the learning itself but resisting the urge to rush the journey. True growth takes time, and consistency is key. Developing as an artist isn’t just about raw talent—it’s about the willingness to refine, adapt, and continuously push forward, even when progress feels slow.

The most essential skills in my journey have been discipline, resilience, and the ability to see opportunity where others see limitations. By blending passion with persistence, I’ve been able to carve out a path that allows me to do what I love—not just as a craft, but as a livelihood.

Montel , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My career in music and voice work began in the world of freelancing, primarily through the Fiverr platform. This experience was invaluable, as it allowed me to refine my craft while working on a wide range of projects. Each opportunity pushed me to expand my skill set, deepening my understanding of vocal performance and production.

Today, I offer a variety of professional services, including voiceovers, lead vocal performance, vocal arranging and composition, audio repair, and vocal processing and tuning. My work is centered on helping businesses, creatives, and brands bring their visions to life—whether they need a compelling voice to market their product, a dynamic vocal arrangement to elevate a project, or high-quality audio refinement to perfect their sound.

What sets me apart is the dedication and personal investment I bring to every project. I treat each piece of work as if it were my own, ensuring that my creative touch enhances the final product in a meaningful way. Beyond technical skill, I bring a deep passion for storytelling through sound, whether it’s through music, narration, or audio design.

Above all, I take pride in my work ethic and my commitment to excellence. My goal is not just to deliver a service but to provide an experience—one that leaves a lasting impact. For those looking to collaborate, know that I approach every project with care, creativity, and a relentless pursuit of quality.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

For me, the most fulfilling aspect of being an artist and creative is the ability to transform ideas into reality. There’s something incredibly rewarding about taking someone’s vision—whether it’s a concept for a brand, a marketing message, or a musical idea—and bringing it to life in a way that resonates.

I especially love helping businesses and entrepreneurs grow by providing professional, high-quality voiceovers, jingles, and audio content that elevate their marketing efforts. Knowing that my work contributes to their success—helping them connect with their audience in a meaningful and impactful way—is what drives me.

Creativity is more than just an artistic expression; it’s a bridge between ideas and execution, between inspiration and reality. Being part of that process, helping others see their visions fully realized, is the most rewarding aspect of what I do.

Have you ever had to pivot?

One of the most pivotal moments in my career came when my business started gaining traction, and my workload increased significantly. As exciting as it was to have more opportunities, I quickly realized that if I wanted to sustain and grow my business, I needed to refine my approach to organization, time management, and client communication.

Running a successful creative business isn’t just about delivering high-quality work—it’s about how you operate behind the scenes when no one is watching. Clients expect professionalism, reliability, and transparency, and I knew I never wanted anyone to feel left in limbo, unsure about the status of their project or the process of working together.

To pivot effectively, I shifted my focus toward enhancing the client experience. I developed clearer workflows, improved communication strategies, and set structured timelines to ensure a seamless and enjoyable process for every client. This not only helped me stay organized but also reinforced the level of trust and professionalism I wanted to bring to every collaboration.

That shift was a game-changer. It allowed me to deliver not just great work but also a great experience—one where clients felt heard, valued, and confident in the creative journey we embarked on together.
