Mike McGonegal

Voice Description

Articulate, educated, sincere, trustworthy
Vibrant, warm, energetic, distinctive
Narrative, technical, informative
Sarcastic, cold, commanding

A bass/baritone voice that can deliver anything from the depths of drama to the heights of enthusiasm! I paint murals with your words so that your audience can see everything from the big picture down to the smallest details.

I can be the voice of a gently guiding experienced instructor, your neighbor, or of compassion. I can turn up the heat on those sultry nights or become cold and uncaring. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I can be the exuberant voice of youth or the carefree surfer from California.

"I worked with Mike this year on a major product launch training initiative for a nationally-known door hardware company. Mike provided the voices for three different e-learning courses within this initiative. He was able to provide three unique voices without much direction and with an amazing turn-around time. He was the voice of a retirement-age African American, a middle age Caucasian sales representative, and a younger Caucasian “worried” customer. His professionalism was top-knotch. He asked very good questions, followed up to ensure his audio files arrived and functioned appropriately, and he made any needed audio revisions within a 24-hr turn around. Initially, Mike was only contracted to provide one voice, but the end-client was so impressed with Mike, they requested his voice as the primary narrator throughout the largest course in the curriculum. I will definitely work with Mike in the future and know that his flexibility, creativity, and responsiveness will contribute to the overall success of my projects."

"Mike, it was such a pleasure working with you. Not only did you have some of the quickest turn around times that I've ever seen, but the quality of your voice, talent and recording was nothing short of outstanding. I will look for reasons to work with you again because it was so easy. Thank you for help make our project a success."

"What we liked in your voice was its natural tone and its casual spontaneity. In short, we are looking for a warm and friendly voice that does not try to “sell”, but rather to “illustrate” our work that , in our view, is “subtle” and “discreet”, rather than “imposing” and/or “aggressive”. "

Additional Skills

Mike's sung in both regular and barbershop choruses - which has allowed Mike to develop excellent breath control and the ability to project his voice when necessary such that he can "rattle the timbers". In contrast, Mike can speak so softly that you have to lean in and strain to hear what he's saying.
