Voice Description

Jeffrey Crest’s genuine, real personality shines through from behind the mic. His sound is lively and his true energetic vocal color shapes each dynamic read. Jeffrey is positive and warm, humorous, witty and fun. His promos are alive with driving flair and urgency. Jeffrey's narration is clear, natural, paced and concise. Jeffrey makes your words sound easy and conversational, and jargon is simply expressed like the normal everyday.

Jeffrey’s ten-plus years of on-camera / stage acting and singing experience and training help him clearly evoke that boy-next-door or guy-next-door empathetic and trustworthy feeling. His voice is versatile, energetic, expressive, funny, eager, sincere and enthusiastic. Jeffrey's youthful sound and characters are balanced, approachable, soft, intense and dignified.

These seemingly contrasting qualities yield results which are surprisingly fresh.

Hear what another producer has said about Jeffrey Crest:

“What makes Jeffrey distinct when working with him in the booth is his eagerness to take direction, run with it, and then add something of his own that makes the take more distinct than one would expect. His sound is positive, friendly, and approachable—much like his personality in general.”

–Andre Bergeron, President/Sound Designer, Babble-On Recording Studios, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
