Joseph Cosby

Voice Description

I have done training voice overs, bank commercials and books in the past. My deep bass voice can range from "the voice of God" to an "ant" for bug spray. The range from compelling to thoughtful, from wry humor to political analyses. From Story telling to funeral orations.

My Voice Experience

I started voice work as a paid classical opera singer in the early 60's. Since then, I have done local commercials, training videos for American Management Association and other small gigs.

I have stopped singing but the resonance continues and all those years of stage has stayed with me. The voice is still my "instrument" though the notes are in my head and only the words appear on the page.

My Training

I am old enough that most of what I learned was before the training classes were thought of. I have several degrees, BA, MA in political science and languages.

I have take two years of training with Bob Michaels in Dallas, TX and have excelled in my ranges.

I live between Seattle WA, Steamboat Springs CO and Guatemala.
