Britten Barry

Voice Description

Warm and dramatic for narrations, fun and bubbly for commercials, professional and neutral for presentations.

Conversational, girl next door, energetic, playful, trustworthy.

*Growing up in the South has provided my voice with a rich texture and clear pronunciation; however, having lived abroad and all over the US, I have also added a wide range of sounds and inflections from which to draw upon for narrations, characters, and commercial script.
