My Voice Experience

Testimonials:

Mike has been our primary male voice talent for a little over a year now. He provides quality voice recordings, quickly and at a fair price. Before Mike we were using a handful of male talents for our customers’ shows, but because of Mike’s versatility and responsiveness, we have been able to use him solely for all projects requiring a male voice. Mike’s talents have lent a professional touch to our presentations that always impresses our customers, and frankly, makes us look good!
– Ryan Lynd, EVP Technology and Services, Quickshow™

Mike has an amazing voice - both rich and bright in character. My project had a short turnaround time. Mike delivered quickly and was willing to work within my budget. He added value to our project in numerous ways.
-Mary Carlson, Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago

We have had nothing but good experiences with Mike Coon. Not only did he make the effort to understand our needs, but he delivered high-quality recordings by our deadline. He is a talented voiceover talent and a professional, reliable person to deal with. It has been a pleasure to work with him.
-Wendy Wallace KRE, Inc

Mike's voice is rich, warm and very soothing, but with a certain authority. He brings depth to each project he voices. His turnaround time is beyond compare. He is always ready and willing to give a great read with a quick turnaround. Mike is a true asset to my company.
