Walter Brandes

Voice Description

A neo-classical voice that is demanding, strong, and warm. Perfect for luxury car commercials, pharmaceuticals, and the financial sector.

I am, however, able to tone down the classical and bring up a relaxed, down-to-earth kinda guy in a read.

As an actor with extensive credits, narrations and audio-books will have a heart-felt, layered result.

An edgy quality is available for TV promos, audiobooks, commercials, movie trailers, and game trailers.

My Voice Experience

"Levitra" -- Narrator for Vardenifil (now Levitra). A technical, informational pitch to medical professionals. Advertising Agency Euro RSCG.

I have a ton of stage experience, but don't let that frighten you off. The combination of subtly and a full voice (precise diction too) would be a strong benefit to your sell.

My Training

Two 6-week sessions with Katherine Ryan of Don Buchwald & Assoc. My technical achievements I attest to her guidance and belief.

BFA in Acting from Avila University in Kansas City, MO

MFA in Acting from University of South Carolina

Additional Skills

I have worked as an Executive Assistant in the Wall Street area for close to 5 years now. I have been applauded for being extremely articulate -- after all, I am the "voice" clients or colleagues reach before they get patched in to my superiors.

I love the theatre because I love people and because I love language. I think the combination of these two passions are the layers one would want intertwined regarding pitches or other voiceover projects.
