Voice Description

Kevin is your first choice for the sound of a “real nice, average guy”, with his natural delivery of warmth and character. Soothing, warm and friendly he is often called upon to deliver a voiceover that is trustworthy and caring. Kevin is a “Level-E” graduate of the Second City Improv Training Center in Toronto. He has been using his voice for 20 years now as a stage, television and commercial actor; and as a singer. Kevin has trained his musical sound with renowned vocal coach Elaine Overholt (vocal coach to the celebrity stars of the movies “Hairspray”, “Chicago”). His clean tenor sound can bring any project to life. From the honest, warm, sincere voice of the “average guy” to a more excitable character or anything in between. As an experienced actor and voiceover artist he takes direction very well. As a corporate marketer and communication consultant, he understands the commercial/strategic motivation of your message and the importance of the delivery to your success.
