About Steve

Member sinceAug 6, 2010

My voice has been described as moderately deep, articulate and animated. Depending on the read, I can create the low ominous car-commercial feel, animated storybook style, or straight educational narration. My career has been in microprocessor and hi-tech electronics design, so I'm highly technical and very accurate & articulate in speech. - For narrative projects, my read is very straightforward with a touch of enthusiasm to keep the interest. But also instructive, with precise articulation so that the listener can grasp the terms. - For childrens books, two types of reads. One that's enthusiastic with a lot of energy and character for preschool fun, and the other more quiet and calming for night-time books. - For commercials, my best read is 'real-person' dialog, with a warm deep voice, guy next-door style. But I can definitely hit that deep, dramatic movie-trailer style if that's what you're looking for. - For cartoon and video-game work, whatever the character calls for, enthusiastic, demanding, insane, high/low pitch, fast or slow talk, as well as tough military type roles. I enjoy picking up a bizarre character and working with you to bring it to life.
