Brian Thomas

French, British, willing to give any accent a shot.

It was a cold winter day in Golden, Colorado almost ten years ago, when a young man entered the studio for the first time. With a two day beard, bed head, and a glimmer in his eye, Brian Thomas stepped in front of the micraphone as if he were embodied by the ghost of Robert Goulet. He spent the next four hours paving the road for the next generation of broadcast greats. Well that is kind of how it happened. Brian set out to Colorado to visit family and did end up behind a micraphone in one of the worlds greatest and most successful marketing firms. By the end of the day he had voiced buisness presentations for some of Americas biggest corporations including; 3M, Subway, and Laserline. The companies loved his voice so much that he extended his visit another week. Brian returned to California to host a radio show for CBS Radio for the next six years. In that time Brian was the local male voice of Dish Network, TGI Fridays, Sierra Snowboard and Ski, Verizon Wireless, Cal Fit, Chevy's Fresh Mex, Tex Wasabi Rock and Roll Sushi Bar, Ashley Furniture, Club Empire, Pete's Coffee, Sugar Bowl Ski Resort, Club Avalon, Pet Smart, Home Depot, Maui Taco, Peta Hut, Powerhouse Pub, Thunder Valley Casino, and the Beach Hut Deli, to name a few. Currently Brian still flys from his overpriced property in North Hollywood, California to Colorado to continue his relationship with the companies that got him his start. Brian studied communications at Chico State before starting his career. In the time that followed he spoke to junior college communication classes and has mentored many greenhorns in the broadcast industry. He is currently working on a comedy album, just for fun. And burns the candle producing a syndicated AM talk show in Los Angeles, CA. Neumann Microphone TLM 103 Airwave Digital board Eventide Harmonizer ISDN Sony Vegas 7.0 Cool Edit Pro This is where I get to talk... When I was nineteen I landed a bartending position at a Mexican restaurant, definatly not legal, but no one ever questioned and I was young and trying to pay bills. I had my first job offer from a radio station's GM who came into the bar often. Stupidly I turned down the job thinking it was a joke, years later I would work with the same man at a great company. Fate is a strange thing sometimes. I relize that personality isnt a huge factor in the voice world, but mine is out of control. My mind is always moving forward, always looking for the good in the bad and I am always looking for a challenge. I have always been a creative guy which is why producing commercials and programs is just a blast for me. And to you future employers, I am so passionate about my work that if I do a project for you, I guarantee I will be more critical of it than you. The ear as delicate as they are deserves the best. It sounds funny and I am laughing, but it is true. There is a question here that asks me to write about my knowledge of the biz. Ill tell you this, there are lots of people out there that only look at the pay, those people feel nothing inside when the job is completed. To me there is nothing better than a great piece of audio that you can proudly send to a client with your name on it. Its the brand names that we trust, and I want Brian Thomas to be one that you can look forward to hearing. Thanks, BT
