Voice Description

Perfect tone for commercials, very natural and friendly. Definately the guy next door feel. Think of the neighbor on your street you really like.

Also very smooth for narration and presentations. The kind of voice you never get tired of hearing because I'm colorful and can keep the listener interested.

A great upbeat and energetic sound for promos and fun, goofy reads. If you know the "Casey Kasem" voice, many directors have made that comparison with my voice. Think of a voice you just want to hug!
