Ronald Gordon

Flat "broadcast" accent, Smooth and soulful (Billy Dee Williams), Upper Crust American (John Housman), Southern "down home" (NASCAR Dad), Surfer dude/Space cadet, Professorial, Sales/Motivational (Tony Robbins), Guttural French (humorous; Pepe Le Pew), "New Yawk" (streetwise).

I trained with Pat Bright (James Earl Jones' voice coach) in New York, and my reel includes a diverse selection of ads including Ban du Soleil ("the San Tropez tan"), Ford trucks ("built Ford tough"), and a PSA for energy conservation ("This is your radio talking"). I have narrated a 60 minute biography of the silent film star Lon Chaney (Kino Video). I am a former competitor in debate and extemporaneous speaking; I have had training for vocal performance and have performed at the near-professional level in large choruses and a cappella groups; I am a former university instructor and lecturer. I have lived all over the U.S., and can imitate just about any American dialect. I make my living as a corporate communications professional and magazine columnist. I have been an executive speech writer at a Fortune 15 company, and currently write for the President and CEO of an economic consulting firm. Though not an audio or video engineer, as a producer I have pioneered the use of new media (Web video; podcasts) as a way of building and maintaining the personal brands of the senior executives I have supported. I am thorough, professional, presentable, reliable, and meet deadlines on multiple projects everyday.
