Voice Description

Wry (dry yet humorous voice over): Similar to the Geico "what happened to the middleman" kind of presentation. You can almost hear the smirk.

Upbeat and friendly (guy next door): More conversational, talking one-on-one with the listener. "Voice Acting" is more prevalent.

Announcer: Good for on hold messages, greetings voice mail, long-form voiceover jobs (industrial, educational, instructional), radio voice work (station imaging for AC, Country, Christian).

Dark: Lower vocal registry, gravel, hard-core biker character voice. Good for rock radio or commercial voice-overs that needs lots of attitude with a deep voice.

Accents: English, mob-style Italian, midwest, middle-eastern, southern U.S.
