Voice Description

My voice is a pleasant, truthworthy sound -perfect for two character scripts, or narrations of lighthearted films, or medium to soft-sell television and radio commercials.

I can do a slight southern accent (think Schmuckers), or no accent at all.

If you want an "average guy" believable voice that everyone trusts, then hire me. I am perfect for corporate website presentations, company voice-mail greetings, or "soft to medium sell" television and radio commercials. You will be pleased.

I have been producing and voicing radio ads for over 20 years. I am highly experienced in voicing video narrations, theatrical narrations and radio imaging. My speciality is being down to earth. I cannot do hard sell or car ads that scream at you, but I can be the "voice of trust"

I have Cool Edit and SoundForge and can do some multi-track production if needed
