Voice Description

Mike’s never been one of those all-things-to-all-people voice over talents. With a friendly voice free of regional accents he works to reveal the real person he is...or those characters who live naturally within him. Working with producers or directors to find just the approach they want is a marvelous thing.

He enjoys scripts that range from the straight-ahead commercial sell to the relatable real-life situation, a touch of comedy, or the natural sounding narrative style of a storyteller. He rambles all across this territory, from friendly neighbor-next-door to comforting OR authoritative, to the man with a one eyebrow raised in skepticism.
