My Voice Experience

Many people hear Collins' voice in the course of daily business, however, without even knowing it. Someone listening to a corporation's recorded phone introduction or directory might very well hear Collins reciting the options. His baritone voice, can be heard on television and radio ads and even voice mail and business telephone directories. His singing voice can be heard on several radio and television ads as well.
As a vocalist, he was behind a series of solo releases on the Chestnut and Zah Zah labels and was also part of the duo act Collins & Collins of A&M Records in Hollywood. One self-titled album came out, which would later attract the attention of reissue labels such as the Japanese P-Vine. This album, “Collins & Collins” has re-surfaced in Europe and is a mainstay in the dance clubs from London to Paris. Bill's solo album "Footprints of Your Life" continues to sell and fuel live appearences in the U.S. and Europe. Bill has added “author” to his many titles with a published children’s book, several essay's, opinion editorials, as well as a collection of poetry.
