Voice Description

I can be:
• soothing and comforting - a voice of calm assurance
• convincing and persuasive - a voice of authority
• intimate and expressive - a close friend
• straightforward and honest - a trusted advisor

I can connect with subtle, smart humor. Double entendres. Puns that surprise and delight. I can be witty, wry and dry. But I can't do silly. (Well, except for that one singing lentil spot...)

If I'm not right for your project, I'll say so and happily point you to someone suited to it. I hire voice talent myself and work with some of the best non-union (read: affordable) talent in the business!

Bottom line: we both want to be successful. If I can contribute to your success, and you to mine, we both stand to benefit from a working relationship. Fair enough?

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Accents and impersonations are not my strong suit, but I'd be delighted to recommend someone else whose characters and dialects are spot-on.

My Voice Experience

I've been writing and producing radio commercials on a daily basis since 1973. I perform these services for a variety of local, regional, and national advertisers.

I am a national Radio Mercury Award-winning ad writer/producer. The Mercury is to Radio advertising what the Oscar is to movies.

My most distant clients have been an advertising agent in Bahrain and radio stations in Guam and India. Most of my clients are located in North America.

Since 1991 my company, Grace Broadcast Sales, has provided syndicated radio features to radio and television stations across the United States and Canada.

My voice has appeared on thousands of radio stations across the country.

When I accept an assignment, I am passionate about getting it right. This often involves an investment of time and effort disproportionate to the agreed-upon fee. No client has ever complained about the quality of my work. References upon request, gladly.

My Training

See above.

My Studio Equipment

My studio is uncompromisingly well-equipped for audio recording, editing, mixing, mastering, and processing, including an extensive collection of royalty-free music and sound effects.

Additional Skills

I'm an experienced copywriter and an effective copy troubleshooter. Most ad campaigns that fail do so not because the commercials were poorly produced, but because the copy was deficient.

If I can be of assistance to you in this area, please don't hesitate to ask. Your satisfaction guaranteed.
