Andrea Bates

Voice Description

Great diction for announcer or relaxed regular gal, I can do it all. Love doing character work - sexy, sultry, sense of humor comes through when needed. Need bland? I can do that too. Please listen to demo, OK? Great radio or TV voice with the face to match - experienced actress singer jingles - no fear. Fantastic voice over talent, for greetings, on hold, message or messages, voicemail or voice mail, happy to audition work with agents.
Pro Tools ProTools friendly. This year, I've done a lot of books on tape - they are among the hardest voice jobs because of the lenght of the project, and the need to be a lot of characters on each page, keeping them straight!
Love the challenge and my readers love my books.
