Brandon Tesar

Voice Description

I am the All-American guy next door, young spokesman type, hipster music scenester and in the know college kid.

I also excel as the sarcastic/wry, "Jim from the Office" vibe, as well as a more goofy, sound with a phenomenal range from very deep to the highest of falsetto tones for the most off the wall characters.

I would also describe my natural voice as Sophisticated, Friendly, Informed, Professional, Clear, and easy to relate to.

My Voice Experience

I began doing voice over work while working as a Freelance Assistant Editor at Outsider, Inc. I would record the scratch track to assist the editors in cutting their commercials before the hired talent had been brought on, and they recommended I pursue it professionally.

I did several years of radio in High School in addition to my extensive stage and film/tv work, which also prepared me for the leap to voice overs.

Upon moving to Los Angeles my friend, VO mainstay Bill Holmes recorded my first VO demo and introduced me to several of my first contacts and agents. I have subsequently recorded for Toyota and Heineken in addition to doing background vocals for several low-budget features and web series. I also have performed ADR on several projects and have auditioned for animated projects.
