Voice Description

Noel's voice has been described as young, hip and enthusiastic.

On commercial reads, Noel has a young adult feel (later 20s-mid 30s) friendly, real, energetic or casual with a hint of wry. On public service announcements, a genuine caring sense of the neighbor next door.

On TV narration, Noel's read is energetic and engaging.

He an speak French and is completely bilingual.

Noel has a standard American speech, which can alter to various regions Southern (Virginia), New York or mid-west if need be.

Noel can do a full on British accent as a native Brit (is half English, lived & trained there) or make it mid-Atlantic as in his Nokia TV spot on the demo.

Noel's promo read is cool matter of fact.
