Lucy Newman-Williams

Voice Description

Lucy possesses an actor's ability to inhabit the text. Her signature delivery, a mixture of authority, warmth, and credibility, has won her a place among the very best voiceover artists around. Whether you seek to inspire, instruct, caution, or reassure your audience, Lucy is an experienced professional and a proven communicator. She has spent 20 years working a microphone and nuancing copy. The "concerned neighbor". The "intimate announcer". The "voice of corporate leadership". Lucy has mastered an impressive multitude of reads and characters to make your campaign ad, training film, cd-rom game, or commercial, the best it can be. She has a way of nuancing political copy that is uncommonly persuasive as evidenced by the Washington Post's description of a campaign that Lucy voiced as "devastatingly effective".
