Loïc Thaler on Voice, Validation, and Creating Space for Others (Us People Podcast Season 7)

Savia Rocks introduces season seven of the Us People Podcast and interviews Brussels-based voiceover and international casting director Loïc Thaler, who describes himself as an unapologetic “weirdo” shaped by a Belgian-English upbringing, early radio work starting at age 10, and a career hosting major Belgian radio before shifting into voiceover and casting for projects including Disney, Lego, Sonos, and Swiss television.

Loïc discusses authenticity at the mic, ADHD-driven work habits, therapy and an “inner compass” after struggling with anxiety, imposter syndrome, and validation needs tied to his parents’ divorce. He explains using his privilege and platform to create opportunities, including blind casting to reduce bias, and reflects on injustice, courage, loneliness, and deeper human connection. He shares routines, gratitude mindset, avoiding negative news, finding supportive creative community, and recommends LinkedIn to connect.
