Philip M. Gardiner

Voice Description

I have a deep, full, welcoming and mature voice.

I sound naturally upscale which works well for pitching high-end products like luxury cars, or financial services.

I can also make my voice sound folksy, like an older Maine native for quirky off beat material; warm and light or sexy and bright for commercials; strong and professional for PSA or spokesperson content; relaxed and intimate for books on tape.

I am an excellent interpreter. I strongly believe in the collaborative process, and welcome entering into a dialog with you about your requirments when the time is right.

Additional Skills

Thank you for considering me as the VOICE for your project. It is an important decision you are about to make, and you need to feel confident you are making the right one. Listen to my voice samples and be the judge.

I have been hired by top companies (GE, Xperio, CL&P, Cablevision)to voice their projects because they believed I communicated their message effectively, and I believe you will too.

I am an excellent interpreter who can provide your project with the "IT" factor it needs to punch through the crowd. Additional services including copywriting, music layering, special fx, etc are available should they be a requirement.

Thanks again for considering me. I look forward to collaborating together.

All best,

Philip
