Brad Venable

Voice Description

Brad Venable takes versatility to a level that can only be described as the 'everyman of now.'

He was once described as "holding down the XY...both generations...and chromosomes." Brad smiled at the appropriately nerdy compliment.

He's the guy-next-door who won't return your weed-whacker.

Whether warm, fun, hip, fresh, friendly, wholesome, organic, real, dry, wry, happy, or just plain energetic, Brad's years of training have locked in the popular 'nowness' that you hear on radio and television from New York to Los Angeles.

His voice can carry to the back of the opera house...or it can seethe with delicious evil that sizzles out of his teeth.

Superheroes that save the day, demonic hellbeasts that utter like the crack of doom, and everything else in between...Brad has created characters that run the gamut of video games that kids play. He also matches some of the best-known cartoon characters from television.

Computer tech, comic book collector, pop culture nerd, and avid gamer, Brad covers about every counter-culture cliche known to man, and can still sound like the coolest hipster to ever wear clothes ironically. Now that's irony for you.

Because of all these underground skills, he shares a kinship with the people buying stuff now...why wouldn't you want someone whose finger is on the pulse of 'the now?'

My Training

Participating in choir, speech, and debate since middle school, Brad has been training for this job his entire life! Talk about a dedication to his craft.

Brad excelled in each of those disciplines and attended college on a opera scholarship. He has applied every lesson he learned as a classical vocalist to his career as a voice actor, and has, on occasion, been known to rock a mic at karaoke.

Brad studied the Stanislavski method of acting and applies it to every project.

Student of Pat Fraley, Bob Bergen, Rob Paulsen, Marc Cashman, MaryLynn Wissner, and Deb Munro

My Studio Equipment

Brad's home studio is well-equipped with some of the finest gear money can buy, including mics from Sennheiser and Neumann, paired with rack gear from FMR Audio and Neve. These are patched into a custom-built digital workstation and monitored through KRK monitors and Sennheiser cans.

ISDN studios that Brad frequents are Cake Mix Recording and Dallas Audio Post.

...listens more than he talks - the greatest irony of his career.
