Voice Description

I can deliver anything from warm, friendly, trusting or caring reads to frantic, crazy, happy, excited reads.

Doug also worked for ten years in local radio in the metro-Atlanta area.

My Training

Formal training is from Elkins Institute School of Broadcasting. But Doug's excellent ear for voices, characters and impressions has been the major tool for cultivating his vast skills in voice-acting throughout his twenty-five year career. His distinctive, voice makes him a highly desirable voice talent.

My Studio Equipment

Neumann U87 microphone; Audio Technica 4033 microphone, Roland VS880 hard disk digital recorder; Vision Desktop Computer with Vegas Pro audio and video editing software for mastering. Empirical Labs Distressor; Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro mixer; Symetrix TI 101 Telephone Interface to enable any client to direct their session via telephone. Other assorted outboard gear.

Additional Skills

Creating a "custom character" for a client's specific needs is one of Doug's favorite challenges.

Doug is a script writer and producer as well as a musician. He worked for five years as chief copywriter and producer in the marketing department of Atlanta's The Music Network. For that company, he created dozens of fully produced spots, writing the scripts, writing and performing the background music and doing the voice over, all produced and recorded in his personal studio.
