Voice Description

For narrations, my voice is best described as warm and believable. It can "take you there" or "bring you back" to the desired location or moment in time.

For professional or corporate work it comes across as genuine and confident.

In commercials, my voice could take several tones; from an edgy attitude to that of a dependable friend sharing a good idea or useful product.

Additional Skills

With extensive experience in the corporate world, I am very much in tune with meeting customer expectations. It's either you meet the expectations or you lose business. A pretty simple formula to understand and one I embrace.

I live and work in a world of deadlines, budgets, and high performance expectations. So meeting the requirements and expectations of voice seekers is absolutely not a problem or issue. I approach all my work in a "whatever it takes" mentality.

I also work with and manage teams of people. There are not many successful lone rangers anymore. I certainly am not one. So the ability to work with and through people is essential to successful endeavors.
