Voice Description

I craft each element of my voice characterizations to suit my client's creative and business objectives

Whether performing as a mad scientist, goofy hand-puppet, go-get-'em anime character, grizzled war veteran, old kook, man-of-action, talking animal, determined businessman (and anything else you can dream up) or, as a narrator or corporate spokesman, I work closely with my clients to dial in the exact vocal attitude, tone and inflection that is right for their projects.
