Voice Description
Ideas trigger more ideas can probably be said about Andrew's voice-over talent--give him a character and he will give you an accent and a mood!
His natural western Canadian sound has a baritone home range that can be heard in a confident, warm, and genuine style. Moreover, he does like to venture into the animated and is comfortable taking his voice into extremes in either English or standard modern German and perhaps disguised in a Russian accent. The possibilities are many if you put him to the test.
Andrew's voice strikes a chord. Call it enunciation or elocution, his ability to deliver passages can be sonorous, yet clean, crisp, and clear. He has the advantage in voicing education and tourism products thanks to his experience in teaching English as a second language and in guiding tourists in German. Clients will be pleased by the professional results.

My Voice Experience
In the course of his career he has provided voice to promos, commercials, narrations, corporate and industrial presentations, multi-media, and educational resources. Some of his exemplary work includes an interpretive video on Fort Calgary (in German), and a series of tourism videos on California by DAVAL Productions--out of Vancouver. He is noted for his distinctive voice and his ability to annunciate. These attributes have also attracted English language publishers, such as English Computerized Learning--out of Edmonton--for whom he voiced software applications such as Pronunciation Power. More recently he has had his voice recorded for DDB Oman and SJS Group, two advertising and publicity companies in the Sultanate of Oman. His voice has melted viewers of the promotional video for the National Aluminum Products Company, and ever since then it has been zoom, zoom, zoom. He recorded several radio commercials including one for Mazda cars and another for Bank Muscat.
Wherever Andrew is in the world he is ready to interpet the deeper meaning of ideas and words in the art of voice-over. He is also ready to put on an accent if you need one.

My Training
His voice was first heard in a community theatre group, "JETZT", during his years at the University of Alberta. Then came classical voice training and membership with the Edmonton Opera Chorus. He sang in three productions: La Traviata, La Boheme, and Jenufa. When he moved to the west coast he joined Victoria's Langham Court Theatre and performed in Stephen Sondheim's Company, and Berthold Brecht's Mother Courage. Whether musical comedy or mindful drama he is a capable and convincing actor. Eventually the TEFL profession would lead him to hot spots overseas where he gave voice to educational materials and taught communication skills sensitive to intonation, pronunciation and accents.
