About Walker, In His Words
Hi everyone. This is Walker, founder of Walker Vreeland Productions. Here’s a little bit about me: I’ve spent my entire life using my voice to connect with others. I began my career as an actor and singer, but later ventured into broadcasting. I spent 12 years as a radio host and interviewer, sharing my own stories and engaging with fascinating people to uncover theirs.
Now, as a full-time producer and coach, I help people like you find their voice, tell their stories, and most importantly, connect with others.
I’ve been described as “an acting coach for anyone who is playing themselves,” and my specialty is removing the blocks that keep us from making an impact. I’m so glad you’re here and can’t wait to hear your voice.
(You can learn more about me in my bio below!)
I’ve been obsessed with audio for as long as I can remember, (yes, that’s me with the bowl cut), so it’s no surprise I ended up in this business.
Walker Vreeland is an award-winning producer, actor, playwright and radio personality. A familiar voice to radio audiences on Long Island and Connecticut, he is best known for having hosted The Afternoon Show on 102.5 WBAZ-FM where his candid conversations with stars such as Liza Minnelli, Cyndi Lauper, Joy Behar, Betty Buckley, Casey Wilson, David Brenner, James Frey, Cheech Marin, Sandra Bernhard and Jane Krakowski garnered him national attention.
