Voice Description

When you hire Todd for VO services, you’re simply hiring the best – talent, service, product and subsequent quality.

Vocal range is comfortably 18 – 40 English Male. Character voices: “Unlimited” - limited only by the Director/Producers’ imagination. The “natural” read a specialty, Todd is about as real as they get in the VO world.

A 25+ year veteran of the VO industry, Todd Schick is currently heard coast-to-coast in Canada as the National Network Imaging voice for the Global/Canwest Television Network.

In addition to an extensive, varied background in broadcasting, Todd is also an accomplished actor, bringing those skills to the studio and applying them to the world of voice overs. Those in the industry can well appreciate the value this type of experience can bring to any project.

Brief History:

Todd was one of the first Voice Artists delivering audio via the Internet back in the day when Yahoo! was in its infancy - years before Voice123 was even thought of. As a result of his website's renowned reputation for providing relevant information on the art of VO, it boasts some 160 pages of content related to the voiceover industry, it's ranked #1 on Google under many industry related search terms (Google "Todd Schick").

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

My philosophy on characters is this:

If you're looking for...say....a British accent, ask yourself this question:

"Do I need to fool a Brit...or do I need to fool a North American...?"

If you need to fool a North American, I can probably do a Brit accent for you. However, if you need to fool a Brit, then I suggest you hire a Brit.

This holds true for many voice talents out there. Very, very few talents can do an accent authentic enough to fool someone whose Mother Tongue is the accent they're trying to perform.

As for characters, yes, I can do many "original" characters - please listen to my demo to get an idea of my range and acting ability.

Additional Skills

On the Internet long before Voice123, and as such, developed a VO service that's second to none. Many of the methods used today by voice over artists (delivery, service, pricing) were taken from my website because of it's rankings; voice talent that were looking to get into the business found my site via search engines and partook of the wealth of information within. (I'm not allowed to post my URL here, so please Google "Todd Schick" and you'll find the site).
