Voice Description
Being involved in directing, coaching and producing voice over artists and reading all sorts of texts for numerous clients for more than 25 years, I can quickly adapt to whatever is needed for any particular job.
I can deliver a laid back presentation, a sexy and seducing one, warm and inviting, businesslike, very dynamic (DJ-type)or sound rather casual like a radio presenter or the man next door.
Being a journalist I know how to deal texts.
Being a producer of audiovisual content I know what it takes to get a message across. Communication !
Being a musician I know how to deal with tone and pace.
Being a voice-coach and director I know how to respond to anyone who is directing me.
Having stated all my 'beings' I can imagine that you'd doubt them.
