Voice Description

My voice is of course of Southern dialect though I can read without it. I can be considered the guy next door or everyman with a down home delivery. I've been told my voice is smokey and sexy. I have worked as an engineer producer in many voice recording studios for over thirty years. My singing voice has been heard in every state of the union and parts of Europe. As a recording engineer I have recorded literally thousands of commercials for automotive, retail, food and clothing industries. As a singer I am a tenor or high tenor with a three octave range. I can do narration, commercials, telephony really just about anything.

Additional Skills

I can offer full turnkey production values to your project. I am a skilled foley artist and have sound effects and music libraries for use in my productions. I can write and produce original music for your project and can also produce jingles. I have been part of a grammy nominated recording and have multiple gold record awards for my audio engineering. I specialize in the art of audio for video or video sweetening. On my production website are links to many commercials that I have either written original music for or completely replaced all dialog and sound effects in post production. I can take bad field audio and realistically replace the dialog and sound effects giving your production a highly polished and professional feel and appearance. I also have direct connection to many skilled video producers and editors if you need them.
