Voice Description

From velvety soft to crushing assaults

My voice brings life to your story.

In my 20+ years I have become whatever the story needed

Speaking for myself and I’m most positive for the rest of the designers here at Corus Custom Networks, I can say that you provide a phenomenal service. We have all discussed that you perform an amazing job not only with voicing, but you also deliver professionalism with each and every project; you are amazing at what you do, you are dependable and you are quick. You’re easily tops on all the designer’s list.

Pete Brown, Video Producer
BOSS Productions

The fact that he’s responsive to our needs, reasonably priced, timely, and flexible is the icing on the cake! To summarize: If you’re looking for a consummate professional that takes a genuine pride in his craft, look no further than Gord Brooks.

Third Wave Digital

I found Gord through one of those internet voiceover clearinghouse sites, and boy am I glad I did. Even though he and I had never met or spoken on the phone before, he did an excellent job of taking my script, and the minimal "feel" I indicated I was looking for in my email, and returned several "on target" variations on it within a day! I'll certainly use his services again when I have a need for more voice work.

"Gord is the imaging voice for our radio station. Our Hot AC/AC station re-branded last year and Gord became the voice of The ONE. His read is rich, warm, friendly, fun, versatile... and it's real. There are so many good things to say about Gord. He's quick to turn around material, gives a choice of cuts, likes to be creative and keeps a good rapport with his clients. If you've got Gord, you've got it good.

I never have to wait on Gord. His turnaround time is excellent. He is consistent with his delivery and versatile with his style. Even in emergency situations, I can always count on Gord to work with me in order to meet my deadlines.

My training was on the job.

I began making a living with my voice before I was old enough to drive.

My Studio Equipment

Studio room and Signal chain which has been optimized for sound, EMF and RFI shielding so carefully that it provides a -81db noise floor (deep space is -100 db).

recordings are VERY clean

Additional Skills

Writing:
During twenty years in broadcasting, I scripted everything from commercials to news copy and on-air programming (special weekends etc.)

Live host

From Over 50,000 screaming concert fans to 20 people at a comedy club (sigh).
