Gary Doll

Voice Description

Warm, friendly, comforting, inviting baritone, perfect for narrations, infomercials, sales presentations, books on CD.

Crisp, clean and clear for heavy retail, done a lot of automotive,

Whimsical, witty, bit of a twinkle in the eye attitude, great sense of humor and timing for comedy, entertainment spots.

I am very natural, as I have spent almost twenty years in front of and behind the camera and microphone, Live TV, talk show host, Emcee and all the rest.

This is what I do...and I am very efficient. I can get a lot of copy in quickly and clearly, as an early mentor recommended I read, and read, and read....and then read some more, all the Dr. Suess books.

Engineers love me, easy to A/B roll, match edits..

My Voice Experience

Live TV narrations and booth announcing, commercial production x thousands of hours of readings, hostings, and recordings. I love doing this!

My Training

I started in Radio as a DJ while a senior in high school, and never looked back, started doing vo and production at age 17 professionally. Wanted more hours so went across the TV station owned by the same company and immediately became the "voice" of the station because I had experience...it was great. I continued in Broadcast TV while in college, studying the same subject, where I actually got to help train others. I love directing as well as performing, and have done National feature stories and vo's

This is what I do and always have, sound engineers love working with me because I am consistent (for AB rolls, re-cuts, etc), very mellow, laid back, and fun to work with...no ego here, just the love of the work. Perhaps it is because I have been on all sides, copywriter, producer, director, engineer, you name it, I have a keen appreciation of the creative process, which has led to me always wanting and doing more.

My Studio Equipment

Not too advanced, really, have SoundForge software on my computer, Shure SM 57 and 58 Microphones and a few sound effects and music beds. I just do it at home and work mostly, and want to do more. I currently record dry VO's and email files in any format needed, usually mp3.

I have run audio boards on live TV and in pre and post production, sweetening the mix to perfection...but I am not fast, and prefer being the producer and even more so, the TALENT

Additional Skills

Twenty years of Broadcasting, Media, Communications, Public Speaking, Hosting and Emceeing live events. I am very comfortable as a talent in front of and behind the camera and the mic.
