Voice Description

I'm the Mom juggling a voiceover career, husband and son in elementary school. My voice has a distinct regionalism that's hard to place, with a natural, communicative sound. But don't take my word for it - here's what the head of a major ad agency, clients, and a veteran vo actor have said about me:

“Linda is a highly compelling voiceover talent. She has a wonderful range of expression and is able to convey a warm and well-centered sensibility. She has a rare combination of professional polish and natural appeal.”

JACK ROONEY
PRESIDENT
OGILVY & MATHER CHICAGO

“We are completing our first voiceover project working with Linda and she has been great to work with. She provided high quality voiceover recordings quickly for every script we provided. After a less than stellar experience with another voiceover talent, Linda worked with us to regain the client's confidence in our ability to produce a high quality product.”

JENNIFER DE VRIES, CPT
PRESIDENT
BLUESTREAK LEARNING

“Linda was extremely easy to work with, great at finding just the sound we were looking for. I was very impressed with the range of options I was provided to work with. Projects move quickly for us and we require people that can act quickly and hit the target the first time. Linda worked fast with no retakes or pickups. The high level of Linda's work coupled with her ability to do quick turn work makes her a pretty obvious choice for us on future projects. We really do appreciate it.”

ADAM QUAGLIANO
CREATIVE DIRECTOR
LEND LEASE AMERICAS

“Linda did a fantastic job with our New Employee Welcome Site and our video. She has great control, precision and incredible talent. Not to mention, her turn around time was expeditious and she was such a pleasure to work with. Great job!!”

SAKITA DOUGLAS
SR. TALENT MANAGER, REGIONAL DIVERSITY MANAGER
LEND LEASE AMERICAS

“Linda Hamm does fine work. She reads well, handles direction expertly and brings a great personality to her reads. Having had the privilege of teaching her in my Voiceover class in Chicago, I know of what I speak. She is a fine woman voiceover to work with and will bring a lot to your
next project.”

JEFF LUPETIN
NATIONALLY KNOWN VOICE ACTOR
TEACHER, COACH
ACTING STUDIO CHICAGO

Linda Hamm's voice has been described by voiceover professionals and clients as "a distinct mix of everyday casual and sophistication." As a natural "Hamm," she can go from cartoonish to charismatic, engaging to evil, pouty to professional -- all based on the client's needs. She keeps the "real" in the script.
