Voice Description

Craig Clausen prides himself on accurate emphasis with attention to punctuation. Craig can deliver a fast-paced read when necessary, or use added inflection to extend a short read to the necessary length.

Great versatility allows Craig to deliver high energy reads, hard sell spots, soft sell spots, conversational and business reads, as well as characterizations.

Craig's voice is somewhat unique, but closer to an average-guy voice than the voice-of-God.
