Additional Skills

Trevor is very confident of his professional abilities, and not only when it comes to voice acting. At every studio he's worked with, his speed, professionalism and "coachability" are always highly appreciated. He's developed quick sensitivity, great expression, clear diction and regularity, adaptability and versatility. He also has a keen ear and a good understanding of production coming from over 10 years of experience in television trailer production.

Trevor's a perfectionnist if there ever was one, a quality most often deeply appreciated. He also has a good knowledge of computers and studio work.

Above all, he's a true lover of good sound! That combination of artistic, relational and organisational skills...is pretty unique!

He is available for translation work or correction from Portuguese or French to English, mostly when in relation to the voice over work.

Music production is on its way...
