Voice Description

Meredith Lauren has a very unique and remarkably unforgettable voice that is sexy, sultry, soothing and very pleasant to hear. As a character specialist, she can convincingly demonstrate a versatile array of personality types. Her voice is distinct and interesting. When she speaks, it's hard to forget what she says. Her unique sound is enticing and passionate, inviting and smooth.

Meredith's voice, annunciation, articulation and professionalism make her a great fit for several types of voice overs including the reading of audio books, narrations in any genre on any subject matter, documentaries of the same nature, video game voice work, movie trailers, animation, band press kits, television and radio station imaging/promos/commercials and a variety of other projects.

Provocative and intense, Meredith's voice gives a new meaning to the term, "SOUNDS GREAT!" Her voice overs and voice acting are superb in capturing any mood her clients are hoping to create. She goes above and beyond for her clients on any project she is a part of thus delivering a product that is hard to beat and she is as charming and funny as she is sexy (both in life and in her V.O. work).

To be completely honest, I have been at the center of a study related to the VO industry that has not yet been named but DEFINITELY deserves some attention. The chaos that has surrounded both my personal and professional life over the last year has been more of a self-produced and directed media production with the "human condition" serving as the core. The emotional range inherent in losing a job and becoming completely disconnected from all of the social platforms people communicate through (due to internet/television/phone catastrophes) has forced me to not only discover the wide range of voices I can perform under duress; but also to discover myself. My "communication breakdown" has inspired creativity that I have thoroughly documented in cell phone videos and in very passionate conversations with others both in and outside of this industry.

When times felt tragically impossible and forward momentum seemed to come to a sudden halt more than once, I exploded (steam coming out of ears and all) then retreated to my cave to watch "The Family Guy." I watched and re-watched the behind the scenes parts of the DVD's that focused on the conception of the show to the final product, with a special focus on all of the voice actors and actresses doing their respective lines. I imitated them, re-created scenes, practiced doing my own voices and proceeded to educate myself in very-versatile ways by reading articles on voice acting, humor, psychology and the differences in humans in an effort to understand them more and to be able to portray them (and their various emotional states) better.

I listened to internet radio stations, live streams from across the country and the advice and critiques of well-respected consultants, musicians, business owners from various disciplines and other radio industry insiders. I took notes, talked with various talent finders and contacted all of the people I had worked with that could offer advice. I continued to step my own product up eleven notches and I now have a much clearer vision of what I want, where I need to be, and the execution of the big goal. I plan to write an all-inclusive memoir to serve as the prequel to what is going to be my life's work.

My Studio Equipment

Access to a professional recording studio, software including Adobe Audition and Pro Tools, a complete CD/Sound FX library and all the other bells and whistles necessary to create radio/television/movie voice-over magic!

Additional Skills

The turnaround for my work is very fast in all areas. This encompasses more than the ultimate delivery, taking into consideration the knowledge, interpretation and culmination necessary in creating art. I can act, react, relate, imitate, create and truly please any client/audience I am working for or in front of, giving each respective party more than my best each time I crack the microphone. I have worked with people from all walks of life and for some reason, I am able to speak their often diverse "languages." I am the voice of reason in most situations. Whether the topic at hand is dark comedy, light tragedy, ecstasy, morbidity, or simply a conversation between friends, it ends up sounding exactly as it should.
