My Voice Experience

Brian Cook was born and raised in Southwest Georgia. The son of a speech language pathologist, Brian stood out early among his peers as something of an oddity. His crisp, clear speech put him into the realm of speech contests, spelling bees, and drama classes. After college, Brian worked as a disc jockey, cutting spots and doing live remotes for over a year. In 2001, Brian traveled to Japan and taught English as a second language, becoming a paragon of English speech for hundreds of students of all ages. Now Brian uses his voice talent as a Customer Service Specialist at Aflac.

My Training

Brian followed up high school by earning a Bachelor's Degree in Art from LaGrange College, with experiences including several stage performances, art shows, and a recorded promo for a role-playing game. He worked as a disc jockey at a local radio station in Columbus, Ga for over a year on the air, cutting spots and performing live remotes. In Japan, Brian recorded countless examples and tests, including several aired television spots promoting the school.
