Podcaster, voiceover artist, and native New Yorker Stephanie Y. Cole joined host Dr. Dee on the Wake Up With Dee Morning Show for a featured "Podcast Spotlight" segment to discuss her venture, Audio Oasis Storytelling, and the transformative power of the spoken word.
Creating an "Audio Oasis" for Rest and Reflection
Since launching her audio journey in 2017, Stephanie has created, produced, and edited over 100 podcast episodes while contributing to audio dramas, commercial voiceovers, and sleep meditations.
During the interview, Stephanie explained the core mission behind Audio Oasis Storytelling:
"Audio Oasis Storytelling is a place where you can stop by, listen, think, laugh, but most importantly... rest. We need to rest."
— Stephanie Cole
She emphasized that amidst today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, audio storytelling offers a return to fundamental human connection—much like traditional storytelling passed down through generations.
What Makes a Podcast Compelling?
When asked about the secret to creating a standout show rather than an ordinary podcast, Stephanie highlighted several key principles:
- Passion & Authenticity: True engagement stems from a genuine love for the craft rather than chasing immediate metrics or sponsorship deals.
- Patience: Building a sustainable audience takes time; focus on creating a quality product that fulfills a real need for listeners.
- Vivid Storytelling: Crafting relatable, detailed narratives—such as navigating New York City bodega etiquette or unexpected moments on a subway commute—helps forge an immediate connection with the audience.
Services Offered by Audio Oasis Storytelling
In addition to producing original content, Stephanie provides range of voice talent and audio production services, including:
- Narration & Audiobooks: Bringing written works and children's books to life with engaging vocal characterizations.
- Voiceover & Corporate Projects: Delivering tailored voiceovers for training videos, presentations, and digital advertisements.
- Guided Meditations: Developing relaxing audio content designed to help listeners unwind and reduce daily stress.
