Gabrial Erickson

I am a lively person with a strong voice. I'm best at being me, but I can be me in multiple variations. Impersonations are not my strong suit, nor am I superb at dialects. I can do a decent British or Southern accent or an old man voice, and I would be happy to do those. But my voice speaks for itself, and that's what I'm best at.

I record my voice every day I go to work. I'm a broadcast journalist, which means I spend a considerable amount of time working on my voice and intonation. I grew up singing and speaking in competitions, and I fell in love with broadcast TV later on. Now, I spend my days live on-air or in the edit bay recording my voice. At this point, I'm fresh to the voice over scene, so I'm looking to get started. But my voice isn't knew to the microphone. I'm new to voice work in this sense, but I've been working with my voice for most my adult life. I have a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. I am new to the voice over industry, but I've spent years on the stage singing and acting. When I entered into journalism, I quickly became accustomed to shaping my voice how I wanted it. We worked with a voice coach a few times. Throughout college, I interned at news stations and the Star Tribune, again working with my voice in all those areas. I am surrounded by media production and broadcast elements daily. I practice my love, which is journalism. I hope to have fun doing voice overs as well. I own a professional AKG Perception 120 microphone. Using a Lexicon interface, I'm able to record directly into my computer and edit from there in just minutes. This may be my first appearance in the voice over industry; but I am highly motivated and aspire to do well at all I do. I was hired and went on-air reporting before I even received my college degree. My boss saw something in me before most others would have, and I am successful at what I do. I hope you will see the same.
