Voice Description

I've been described as "American Power" with a distinct rasp and power behind my voice when required. I'm not quite as low as Don LaFontaine, but can channel his unique presentation.

Having studied Vocal Performance with a specialization in Opera, my wide ranging bass-baritone voice is well suited for a variety of projects, and I'm even willing to sing should the project require it.

My Voice Experience

As a video producer, I was always looking for the right person for the voiceovers, but could never find someone willing to do it for me. Finally, I broke down and rented some studio time, and finally did my voiceovers. Within hours of posting my video to Vimeo.com, I received a message from MindMeister.com that they'd like to have me produce a video for them, with a specific emphasis on my voice. This project has snowballed into many other Vienna, Austria based voiceover work, and I'm now looking to expand my offerings internationally.

What I've done so far:

Various voiceovers for MindMeister.com
Voiceover work and video production for PlaySpan.com
Weekly podcast at stevieftw.com
15 second commercial slot for fm4 (Vienna based radio station)
