Voice Description

Since I was a DJ at famous Radio Luxembourg for many years and worked as a TV-host for German Television, I can deliver VO without any hint of dialect with a warm and full voice. Since I am a journalist and writer, I can write or revice my own scripts.
If you need an "Arnold accent" I'm you man. If you have a car commercial or something technical, I'm your man. I can vary my voice depending on the task from cozy and sexy to demanding. My speech is very clear and transparent. When I speak English often foreigners understand me better than many Americans due to my precise diction. I speak fluent English with a slight German accent. If necessary I can increase the amount of accent. I have been used as a host for a car related infomercial where my German accent was welcome since many people believe that having a German accent also means understanding technical issues.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I speak English with a slight European/German accent. If you need "ARNOLD", I can deliver. Often I am hired to do commercials for technical products since people assimilate German accents with knowledge of technical matters (Mercedes, BMW). If needed, I can increase the level of that accent up to comedic levels.

TV Host 23 years (ARD network, RTL, TM-3, Premiere, Paramount)

My Training

Formal education as journalist, radio announcer and television host. The training included acting lessons, phonetic lessons and voice training.

My Studio Equipment

I work for Radio and TV and work with a MAC G-5 with FCP HD. My voice recording is mainly done with Audacity. I use different Microphones depending on need. I use a SHURE audio mixer.

Additional Skills

If you also need translation into German, I can deliver. I am a Television Producer since 1985. I have produced (and hosted) TV shows like Paramounts ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT. I also have written and produced my own TV-Movies. Some of my work can be found at IMDB.
Besides flawless German and English, (German accent light, but can be strong if required) I also am in the process of learning Chinese Mandarin.
I have worked and lived in 35 different countries (and counting). Whenever I have a chance, I go sailing.
