𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁 is the Director of Voiceover at Coast to Coast Talent Group and a true pioneer as an African American woman heading a major VO division at a top agency. Over 28 years, she’s placed talent in Academy Award–winning animated films, blockbuster video game franchises, and national commercial campaigns. Here, she shares how a decade at Universal Studios and a background in casting prepared her for the role, why she believes in “no nonsense, no bullshit kindness,” and the Maya Angelou-inspired motto that guides her: “I come as one, but I stand as 10,000.”

13:48 — 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁
She emphasizes saving room at conferences for people you don’t know. “You can't be, “oh, I’ve done it 28 years, kids, back in my day...’”
28:25 — 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲
A decade at Universal Studios, work in development, and casting experience all fed directly into her agent skills. “You’re supposed to be here because of all the things you’ve done in your past has led you to this moment.”
29:13 — 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:
Adaptability, intuition, and “no nonsense, no bullshit kindness.” Being malleable to change, having a keen sense of talent (“before they know it”) and maintaining direct but kind communication. “We don't have to go to blows to disagree, but I also won't be taken advantage of.”
39:19 — 𝗛𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼: "𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝟭𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬"
Inspired by Maya Angelou via Oprah, Portia often finds herself as the only one in the room—as a woman, as a person of color, as a Black voiceover agent. She finds comfort knowing she carries the groundwork laid by ancestors and family on her shoulders, wings, and words.
46:27 — 𝗦𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿
Her advice to her younger self: take the first opportunity when it comes. She initially turned down an agent role in '93 and waited nearly five years before finally saying yes.
