Voice Description

My clients go first...

"Michael very capably and deftly took my unedited voice overs I provided for WKXC-FM on air imaging and turned it into magic every time! In fact he surprised me with a series of funny imaging in which he not only edited my VO, produced it all but also sang the jingle parts. I was blown away at how creative this guy was!

I highly recommend Michael to you for whatever your audio production needs may be! Good guy too!" - John Willyard, Voice for Broadcast

"The first thing we appreciated about Michael was his ability to follow instructions. Of all of the demos we heard, he was the ONLY one to audition his work the way we asked. His voice is clear, friendly and easy on the ears.

We appreciate the hard work you put into this project (independently researching the terms…working to get just the right inflection, etc).

But the # 1 attribute I totally admire is Michael's deternination to see any job through to perfect completion, no matter what it takes.
