Dan Bradford

Authentic Texas Dialect if necessary, EZ going father figure. Over the top Newsman. Southern dialects, ignorant sounding clueless southerner

I have been the production director (creative services director) and part time newsman for KSKY radio from 1998 until current. Asst Producer and creative services director for KLTY and KWRD in Dallas 2000 till current. I have recorded hundreds of ballsy sounding announcer type commercials as well as fatherly and warm sounding spots that have been used in everything from medical commercials to church service ads. My voice has been described as huggable. I have a resonant baritone voice that is well suited for news and informational type commercials. Being a Texan I can easily affect a true Texas accent from authentic and informational to avuncular and then over the top hillbilly southern. I can do completey finished productions or dry unprocessed reads...whatever the client wants. I have also been a professional musician. I have done studio work for commercial music as well as free lance bass playing for all types of music from rock, jazz, funk, ska, country...I have produced many radio shows, picking the music and doing the announcing for the show and providing an ftp site for stations around the country to download them. Trained in the KWRD, KSKY, KLTY, studios and mentored by some of the best voices in the industry who have passed through the doors of our station. I have earned 4 Crystal Communicator awards Mic: Shure RE 20 Processor: Symetrix 528e Cool Edit Pro...power user Dell computer with 10 gig ram and 3.5.ghz processor Mackie 12 channel console... TASCAM US122 audio / digital converter. Alesis FX12 Mixing Board I generally run directly from the mic to the TASCAM to the computer for a super clean noise free recording. Depending on the spot, I will use the Symetrix 528e in the signal chain as well. Processing can be added in post production if desired. I have developed and produced radio shows from their inception to broadcasting around the country. I can record, produce (add music, process, add intro and outro VO) and then upload the show to the web on an ftp sites for clients anywhere in the world to download. I have done infomercials, religious preaching and teaching shows and fully produced spots from :30 sec to 60:00 programs I currently have a daily progras airing on KDKR called A Place to Grow.
