Voice Description
An industry savvy voice actor on his way to the top!
Brad's warm and friendly personality behind the mic translates to the perfect guy next door. A natural delivery with warmth and character makes Brad into whatever your copy calls for. Strong, snarky, savvy, whimsical, smart, natural, smart-aleck, dry humor. You provide the copy, Brad owns it.
Brad does nearly everything that requires a voice: commercials, trailers, animation, characters, audiobooks narrations, impersonations, video games, and more!
Your project needs just the right voice. Because if the voice isn't right, there's no fixing it in the mix. So remember Brad Venable when casting your project and get it right the first time. Don't fix it in the mix...Fix it at the mic!
