Bill Carroll

Voice Description

Upbeat, unique, serious or hilarious, the guy next door or a voice you can only imagine until now.

I'm an impressionist and character specialist who can nail most of the in-demand voiceovers: US presidents, other political figures, and celebrities -- as well as the conventional VO. I also sing bass/baritone and can duplicate any past or present male singer in my range -- from Sammy Davis Jr., to John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Robert Goulet, Dave Matthews, etc.

I also specialize in regional dialects (the South, Chicagoland, Baltimorese, etc.) and national accents (Northern and Southern England, Irish, French, Chinese, Latino, East Indian, etc.).

My Voice Experience

I got my start in radio at WCEI FM in Easton, Md., where I did voiceover and on-air work. I received my BA in communications from Marietta College, where I also anchored the evening cablecast news and did in-the-field reporting. I was signed to Aardvark Records in the late 1980s, and a song I wrote and sang for that label appeared on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand" shortly after.

I have also done vocal work for Voice of America-Europe, WMRT-FM, WCMO-FM, Yamaha Soundcheck, Jay Howard Studios, Metro Traffic, and Charlotte/Mecklenburg Government.

I have sung as lead vocalist or vocalist in several musical acts, including tribute acts for the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Doors, and currently perform in one of the most in-demand corporate acts in the Southeast.

In 2005, I was nominated for a regional Emmy award for writing, recording and performing the theme song to the PBS TV program "The Mecklenburgers."

Additional Skills

I've been working with "creative types" all my life, and have also been a part of the corporate business setting, so I'm well aware of the importance of not only "outside the box" thinking but have strong sense of discipline as well. I'm easy to work with, and am never happy with a product until my customer is.
