Michael Conrad

Some ways I can use my voice: Australian, British, and Irish accents, cartoon-type voices, imitations of certain television or cartoon characters, raspy old men, vampires and other monsters, men's voices in all types of ranges (high pitched nerdy, to deep sexy Barry White-type), drunk people, etc. I also sing.

I have a great deal of experience with voice work. I started in college doing on-air DJ work as well as narration for projects, including narrating and producing a radio news feature on presidential elections which featured live interviews with fellow students and selection of various pieces of background music. While in the radio industry professionally, I talked on air for my shift and then did a lot of production work and commercials; everything from smooth and professional 30 or 60 second spots for car dealerships to wacky and fun commercials for bars and restaurants. During my years attending Berklee College of Music, I had a radio shift on their internet radio station and also conducted and produced interviews with famous musicians passing through the area. I currently run a Pro Tools-based setup in my home, running through a Universal Audio Apollo Twin into a Mac Mini. I can record into Pro Tools or Garageband and edit accordingly. To record my voice, I usually utilize an AKG-414 condenser microphone. There are also many recording studios in my area, if something more advanced is needed. In addition to the above-mentioned skills, I also have training in recording engineering, as I spent a year at a Washington, D.C.-area trade school learning studio techniques and methods. I also am skilled at copywriting and correction, which I had to do quite often in school and on the job while in the radio industry.
