Bert Liboon

Heavy and guttural Russian sounding dialect. Funny imitation of an Indian speaking sales person. Filipino accent when speaking English. You know how it is, the P is pronounced as an F and the F is pronounced as a P with a slightly lillting tone.

I have a very comprehensive experience in all aspects of voice overs. For 17 years I was the voice over announcer of Channel 7 in Manila, Philippines and 4 years in Channel 4 also in Manila, Philippines. Announcing both in the Filipino language and in English which is the second language in the Philippines. I have done countless commercials, narrations, voice over presentations and voice over for cable and tv programs. Again in English and Tagalog or Filipino. I was dubbed as "The Man with the Golden Voice" in the voice over community in the Philippines. I have been residing in the states for over 20 years now. Currently, I am the voice over of Illinois Tool Works answering phone system, doing voicemail greetings. I started out as a local DJ with ABS-CBN in the Philipines. Then transferred to television, with Channel 7 as their in house tv anncr. Doing, Station ID, local program promos and intro, extro voice overs. Pretty soon I was already doing commls, documentary narrations and live on stage or voice over announcements. These are all done in English or in Filipino. My english has no filipino accent, if I want to. I have stayed with the Philipine TV networks for over 17 years before moving to the U.S. Since then, while in the U.S. I have done numerous voice overs for commercials and other live intro voice overs for on stage concerts and presentations. I don't have a fancy equipment or recording studio. What I have right now is a Sony Vaio notebook computer and a uni-directional WM-360 Microphone in a stand, in my basement. The microphone is inputted into the computer and the computer serves as the recorder. After the recording, I would choose several good cuts and send them via email with attachments to my Producer who is based in San Francisco, in a cable network, He would do post-production enhancements to it and voila! It's on the air already and sounding great. While residing here in the States, I have attended several workshops in Los Angeles, training for animated voice overs,to enhance my skills in doing creature or cartoon voice overs. In Las Vegas, I have done several, live voice overs for live concerts and presentations with On Stage Production Company based in Los Angeles. If it is relevant at all, I do photography with my Nikon digital camera and shoot video with a Hitachi Digital video camera. Mostly, of the social nature, like parties, get togethers, weddings, birthdays etc...
