Voice Description

For comic character voices from animated animals, teenaged voices, a romantic lead or a wise elder in video games, to soothing, reassuring voices for on-hold and interactive IVR phone messaging systems, in a variety of American & British English dialects, French, Italian, or German accents, or fluent German-language, my solid "average guy next door" baritone voice has satisfied dozens of clients on radio, in video games, film, television, commercials, industrials, and both telephone and other voice-recognition speech applications needing wide-ranging vocal variety in a voice talent.

My Voice Experience

Let's see, voice-overs I've done for satisfied clients:

Beyond my voice being the basis of a voice synthesis and voice recognition system used by a growing number of internationally known companies for automated phone answering systems, call centers, DTMF-replacement systems using IVR (Interactive Voice Response), there's also the stereotypical Frenchman, the angry teen, the 'how to learn to speak English' tutor, the young Spanish boy, the aging but respected professor, the gruff but effective football coach, the over-the-top announcer, the "not too announcer-y" announcer, the Australian naturalist, video game adventurers of a variety of ages, the british robot, the well-educated Southern farmer, the voice of New York City and of Los Angeles, personified in an award-winning animated short; the trustworthy spokesman, every character from "It's a Wonderful Life" in the abridged "It's a Wonderful Few Minutes"; the polite, reassuring and expedient voice of many voicemail, telephone answering, and voice recognition systems, and even the excited Spanish-language announcer of California State Lottery winning numbers. I'm also currently the voice of phone systems for Expedia (1-800-397-3342), Continental Airlines (1-800-523-3273 & 1-800-621-7467), Discover Card (1-800-347-2683), Sony Technical Support (1-877-760-7669), Traffic(website) (1-866-MY-TRAFC),) SAP Labs (1-650-849-2828), and Oklahoma Gas & Electric (1-800-272-9741), and others. Please do call any of the toll free numbers to hear my active phone systems.
