Voice Description

A friendly, smooth baritone in the 30's to 40's range. From solid to sexy, trustworthy to trendy, I provide a unique, dynamic, professional quality voice that stands out and cuts through chatter - prefect for radio, TV, video narrations, promos and imaging, IVR and on-hold messages, web greetings, and any other multi-media presentation.

While my specialty is my concerned, helpful neighbor appeal with a warm tone and approachable manner, I can also deliver the genuine, compelling, deep, sincere and passionate tones.

On the other end of the spectrum, I have lots of experience providing the more up-beat, excited, hyped, musical and animated deliveries that car dealerships and others want, to create urgency.
