Joe Haynes

German, British English. Depending on what is required for the character, I can adapt to the needs of the copy. I do like redneck/Southern characters as I did live in the south for several years.

My experience is slightly over a year old. Because I do have a primary job to support my family, VO is still an important hobby that I want to become my second career. Trained with 57th Street Media founder Keith Allen who was the voice for ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings. My public speaking training is through Toastmasters International where I have earned the Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) designation. In order to achieve DTM, I had to deliver close to 60 prepared or 'canned' speeches/presentations in front of various audiences. I was also required to be a district officer and sponsor or mentor a newly chartered club. My time as Area Governor earned me a President's Distinguished Area award for 2012-2013. I feel the time in front of audiences has helped to prepare me for my time behind the microphone. I have a BS in Biology from Auburn University, a BS in Pharmacy from Northeastern University, and an MBA from St. Leo University. I am currently working on a post-grad project management certification.

I believe my attention to detail in my chosen profession will benefit any of my clients when it comes to their VO needs.
