We create media and live events that entertain and inspire.
About
Since 2011, VODC Productions Founder Rick Bernstein, “The Voice of DC,” has hosted and produced live events, helped raise over $2 million for fundraising organizations, delivered voice-over narrations for local and global brands, and created various podcast shows. Rick is a trained voice actor, emcee, and licensed fundraising auctioneer whose twenty-plus-year career spans the fields of entertainment, technology, fundraising, and healthcare. These experiences, combined with a diverse skill set honed on stage, in the recording booth, and consulting alongside hundreds of organizations, have distinguished Rick as a unique entertainment and fundraising service provider.
LIVE EVENTS
From Rockefeller Center to the Kennedy Center, we have hosted and produced pageants for the Mrs. America, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA Organizations. We have hosted DC Swim Week and fashion runway and benefit rock shows.
PODCASTS
We host and produce a network of shows, including The Pod of DC, Women in Technology Podcast, and the Vienna Cars & Coffee Podcast. We work with clients from seasoned businesses and not-for-profit organizations to individuals looking to start their own podcast and seeking a seasoned professional to help them launch.
FUNDRAISING
Since 2019, we have raised over $1 million for not-for-profit organizations across four states and the District of Columbia. We are your right-hand fundraising strategist, from creating your organization’s gala run-of-show to silent and live auction item curation, maximizing donations for your fund-a-need appeal, and raising more money for your cause as your master of ceremonies and fundraising auctioneer.
COMMUNITY
Community is at the heart of everything we do, from spotlighting the work of fascinating individuals who entertain and inspire on The Pod of DC to serving as Fundraising Chair for a local percussion ensemble not-for-profit organization to co-founding a semimonthly Cars & Coffee event that collects donations to help drive away food insecurity.
