Randolph Directo

Voice Description

Producer of self help albums based in the latest psychoneurophysiology studies and a new age, spiritual inspiration album featuring his vocals at Amazon, Tower
Records, and more places where fine music is sold.

Utilising his studies of human nature, Randolph's unique voice over productions help you achieve success in your project. Use his pre and post production services to induce deep introspection and rapport with your audience. His natural narrative and conversational style are built upon solid techniques such as that used by the Tavistock Institute for wide audience appeal.

His years of professional experience with educational television and market research have provided him with a wide dynamic range from sincere, articulate, intelligent tones for narration to a strong, inspirational delivery for promos to a gravely, deeply unsettling voice for darker characters.

Randolph has been tagged as "spooky, raspy, and dark" in his more eloquent deliveries, yet he can change pitch to sound like a Monty Python pretend woman.

Randolph can provide mature, personable, natural, conversational spirits. Let's face it: Anyone can be warm and cuddly. But in a bear market like a recession, as stated by Robert Prechter of the Socionomics Institute, people tend to herd towards darker, more authoritative tones.

During bear markets or troubled times, audiences hover towards equally troubled super heros and other melo-dramatic marvel characters where Randolph excels.

Yes, anyone can be the "right" voice over, but what people really want, in desperate times, is a Voice of the Times such as Randolph.

His clear, precise diction allows him to be international or local imitating a wide range of accents. He can switch instantly between characters.

Randolph always asks your creative team for the required style of delivery and delivers copy exactly as expected within the given context. By applying his personal dynamics, he can work with your creative team to provide you with a finished production that is sure to please.
