Voice Description

Mike has a trustworthy and friendly voice, whose upbeat and fun style lends itself well to commercials, infomercials and promos.

A more warm and measured delivery can be employed for narrations and documentaries and an approachable but authoritative quality makes it ideal for on-hold messaging, pre-recorded greetings and similar services.

Mike has access to a professional studio and can work at relatively short notice if required.
