Joan Ganter

Voice Description

My natural age range is 35-55 and I have a warm, friendly, sincere voice. I am accomplished at relaxed, conversational, believable soft sell attitudes such as friendly, calm, soothing, sentimental, folksy, story telling, caring, trustworthy regular girl next door and down to earth. I can do romantic, sexy, sensual and sophisticated or luxurious, rich, expensive and snooty. I can also perform strong professional hard sell attitudes such as serious, newsy, authoritative, confident, energetic, enthusiastic and convincing.

I am adept at the new edgy attitudes such as argumentative, flippant, sarcastic, wry, bored, monotonous monotone, deadpan, casual and smartass. I can also do dramatic reads such as movie trailers, tv promo, audiobook or natural regular girl on the street testimonial reads.

I am an excellent, directable voice actor and can interpret the emotional subtleties in copy and words and connect emotionally with the listener audience. When you request an emotion in my voice for a certain line I can produce that emotion and subtle variations of it. Some examples might be angry, happy, sad, disapponted, satisfied, relieved, concerned, worried, confused, surprised and more complex emotions such as exasperated, jealous, envious, dejected, hopeful, amazed and astounded and of course nonplussed.

I am experienced in reading a variety of corporate industrial copy from dramatic and romantic to straight forward and instruction and I can phrase bullets and outline points well with my voice to clearly lead the listener through the logic of a presentation. I am excellent at pronouncing and understanding medical, chemical, technical and electronic terms.

I'm a great choice for radio and tv commercials, promos, trailers, corporate industrial narration, documentaries, telephone IVR and on hold, animation and character voices, impressions and impersonations, audiobooks and books on tape, training videos, internet and podcast presentations.
