Voice Description

40 Year old East Coast male, I grew up in NJ. I have 20 years experience, trained in IVR, radio and phone voice recording. My voice is best for IVR, voicemail, on hold messaging, and customer service hotlines. Experience with radio spot ads, commercial voice-overs, public service announcements and telephone systems. I have a broad spectrum narrative voice that is perfect for Sci-fi, mysteries and historical documentary audio books. Choose me for dialog commercials, infomercials, audio horoscopes, PSA's, and corporate productions.

My voice has a broad range from deep and mysterious, to bright and friendly, and I can sound very loose and conversational, or very straight and formal. I grew up in a blue collar environment, and am now a white collar professional, so I can portray the personae of many American economic and social backgrounds. My demos are just a sampling of what I can do, feel free to request a specific demo.
