Voice Description

I am told that my voice is very "European"; Charming, Smooth, Cultured, Warm, Open, Full and can be Deep, Powerful or Booming if necessary.

My Native tongue is Hochdeutsch, (High German, which is much smoother, clearer and not harsh, like the other dialects.). I speak flawless English, with a slight European accent and being that I am University trained, I speak Latin fluently and so can work in all of the romance languages, especially French and Spanish.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I can copy all of the main German dialects, but for anything other than a local commercial, it's really better to speak only High German, so that all German speaking people through out the world can understand the project clearly.

My Voice Experience

I've used my voice talent exstensively as a Voice Over artist doing commercials, "industrials", presentations and talking books. I've also worked as a presenter and translator, in English and German for topical discussions, panels and presentations in auditoriums and for large companies and political events in Europe.

My Training

I was taught here in Europe by political presenters and and also worked exstensively with a Hollywood Drama Coach, so that I can use my voice talent properly and express their beliefs accurately. I'm used to being in the stuido behind the microphone for hours at a time, as well as on stage in front of a large audience.

My Studio Equipment

I have a professional reocording studio, with a full time University trained recording engineer. (I am not a computer "geek", I let my engineer take care of all of the ever changing technologies and formats.) I can quickly give you anything you wish, in any format you wish. If you tell me exactly what you want, I can reocrd it and my engineer will deliver it to you, in any format that's available, anywhere on the planet.

Additional Skills

I translate scripts, books and articles for companies, publishers and individuals, from English into German and vice-versa. I can translate either way, with text book accuracy, as fast as anyone can talk. I continue to study languages, especially Spanish and French and spend a lot of time with Americans, British and people from all over the world, so that I can learn their languages, idioms and accents.

Most people assume that I'm a University Professor, or a Medical Doctor and I'm comfortable with that image. (I have a medical and teaching backround.) I'm quite often hired for a "scholarly" or "educated" voice, also for a "fatherly" or "authoritative" voice.
