Nick Raef

Midwestern, Appalachian, Ozarkian, Southern (can specify to region), Standard American, RP British, Scottish, Irish, Russian.... I'm game to practice and put anything on the table! I also have a variety of personalities and characters I can bring to said table, just name the feel you're going for and I can match it.

Short term experience as a radio DJ for KJEL country music and news radio station, internship experience with Chicago Public Media in the Vocalo studio, over 80 narrations accomplished for a national elementary education news company. BA in Communication and Theatre at Northwestern University with voice and acting training from Linda Gates, Sandra Marquez, and Henry Godinez. Minimal home studio with Samson Go Mic, soft-surface recording area, and Reaper and Audacity software. I not only provide an adaptable and unique tone of voice, I also bring a great deal of other skills and education to the table including: undergraduate studies in international political economy which allow more knowledge on current issues for narration, editing experience as podcast editor of a local sports program, training as an actor at Northwestern University (#2 undergraduate theatre program in the world), hard work, quick turnaround, and friendliness. Never underestimate the value of friendly dialogue and demeanor in business situations!
