Meet Joe Bello | Professional drinker (sommelier) and voiceover actor


We had the good fortune of connecting with Joe Bello and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Joe, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
For most of my life people would tell me that I had the “voice for radio”. I always thought it would be a fascinating thing to eventually hear my voice on the radio and that lead me to peruse my voiceover career at www.savedbythebello.com
I found my agent in Denver, Jordan Leigh at the Donna Baldwin agency, and he helped guide me to find some work in the industry

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Starting your own business is never easy, starting two is down right crazy, but with support of amazing people like my wife, my talent agents and mentors in both the voiceover and wine industries I have been able to take that leap. The entire process is a never ending answer to “I really don’t know how to do this” but figuring it out and making it happen.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Golden! Ever time in my in town I make a point to just take it the fresh morning air and amazing vibe of that city. I’d also tell them to stay at the brown palace, have Rocky Mountain oysters at Buckhorn exchange, and have one of the coolest dining experiences ever at The Wolf’s Tailor.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My wife is the driving force behind ever success in my life. When people talk about their better half, I have truly one. My wife Natalie has never once said “wow that dream sounds crazy” but instead says “how can we make that happen”. Her and I own a wine and Spirits distribution company, called Bello Vino, in the state of Pennsylvania and her support of that crazy idea helped bring it to life. I use my voiceover talents to bring some life to my wine reviews on my social media pages and I have found the merging is these two passion projects have brought me nothing but joy!
