Voice Description

Those who’ve worked with Bob North over the past 35+ years will tell you that Bob is a consummate voice-over professional. He can be friendly but authoritative, big and tough, warm and inviting or a regular-kind-of a guy quite comfortable doing a hard sell auto spot; or, reading a sensitive documentary on cancer awareness. Kind of a cross between a Hal Riney and Miles Neff at times.
Most importantly, this is what he has done 24/7 for his entire career. Can be conversational & real, straight-forward, and direct. Clients (local, regional, national and international) keep coming back because Bob always delivers their message effortlessly, in an honest, credible, and straightforward manner. He’s the guy national political consultants trust to get their candidates into office and to get their issues passed coast to coast. Besides providing these positive results for their campaigns, consultants love the awards they often receive from the commercials that Bob has voiced for them.
