Dave Klec

Voice Description

I naturally have a younger guy-next-door sounding voice. I can provide fun energetic commercial reads and upbeat narration… or tone it down to deliver calm, warm and smooth conservative or mature reads for presentations, podcasts, and industrials.

I’ve studied theatre and acting for many years, and can convey complexity and real depth to the characters in your script.

All my life I have been performing zany voices and impersonations. As a result, I can provide an extremely wide range of characters for your animation project. Check out my animation demo for a few examples!
