Queen Noveen: the live voice of God behind award shows
From RNZ - All Programmes · 00:12:50
Show by RNZ
When you hear an unseen voice introducing stars at an award show, it's usually a real person sitting backstage, or in a trailer outside, reading live. Queen Noveen is one of those voices. She fell into the work through acting classes and booked the MTV Video Music Awards in her first year with an agency. She tells Perlina Lau how she handles a script that keeps changing during the broadcast, why a mistake has to sound like a normal sentence, and why she skips cheese on show day but keeps green apples and Lay's chips handy. Social media has become her CV, and it brought calls from the 49ers, NASCAR and the NFL. Her favourite gig was the 2022 SAG Awards, where she introduced Selena Gomez and then hurried past Meryl Streep to meet her.
