Dan Middleman

I can perform very good Mexican, Italian, Russian, Middle Eastern, Yiddish, Old Man, Texan, and Hillbilly accents/dialects. When I was a kid, my hero was Mel Blanc! :)

My favorite types of recording to perform are business presentations, training, IVR, phone systems, and on-hold messages. My natural voice lends very well to these. But I have also recorded for product sales, websites, sports video resumes, and I even got a gig once dubbing a documentary style sports commentary to a national youth soccer tournament and the championship game! I was trained in voice acting by Bob Michaels of Dallas, Texas. I continue occasional training with Bob. I have a Bachelor's degree in Modern Foreign Languages. I am located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex and am equipped with a digital in-house studio with phone patch. My equipment is as follows: Studio Projects C1 high quality true condenser pressure gradient microphone. DBX 1086 Mic Pre / Processor featuring an ultra low-noise, extended headroom mic pre with a variable-frequency low-cut filter and unique low and high detail equalization controls. The 1086 also has all the features that brought dbx to the forefront of dynamics control and processing. DBX 504X Digital Output Card interfaces with the DBX 1086 for a premium analog to digital conversion. Symetrix TI-101 Telephone Interface designed specifically for the connection of professional audio equipment to telephone lines in broadcast and production operations. Tascam CD-RW5000 CD Recorder Tascam DA-20mkII DAT Recorder Adobe Audition workstation I have a technical background in Information Technology and have performed much technical training. I have an abundant technical vocabulary. I also studied a large number of foreign languages in college and abroad including German, Russian, French, Spanish, Hebrew, and Latin. Most of those are rusty now, but I have retained the Spanish quite well as I lived for a number of years in Spain and now living in Texas, I still get to use it quite often. I have a Castilian accent when speaking Spanish, although I can speak it with a Mexican accent as well.
