Jeffrey Hering

My british cockney accent is a keeper. Age Range: Middle Age (Voice age range of late 30s to 50s), I can play the part of an uppity snob if you'd like to perfection. Or, maybe if you prefer - an Old Style gangster from the prohibition days. The lazy good-for-nothing-loafer, lounger, slacker if that's more to your liking. The deep, resonate voice of a forboding menace that is about to cause mayhem - think, movie trailer. My voice is very adaptable to just about anything in my Age Range. I'll make it work - and I take direction very well. And lest we forget - the punk!

My finest hour came with my V.O. work for an animal shelter in Florida just recently - not a dry eye in the house!. I've also managed to include my friends as clients - a website V.O. for a audio technology firm - I explained the services offered with a warm, yet friendly approach to ease the mind of anyone who visits the site/Winter of '09. Some of my best work has been my PSA's for the Red Cross Blood Drives - "please give" and they did! My narrative abilities were in full-swing with my Summer of Woodstock narration. But, the narration for & about the problem of homelessness in this country was another coup for me - many were so taken with my ability to convey the problem, they immediatly began to give to their nearest shelter. The strenght in my voice in regards to a Proform Fitness Machine will make you want to sweat the pounds away.
