Brian S. Atwood

I speak in unaccented American English, but I can do multiple, accurate British and Australian accents and dialects, as well as "characterizations" of Canadian, French, Italian and Spanish accents. Impersonations are a specialty of mine. I can literally do hundreds of characters: politicians, movie/TV/radio stars, cartoons, Muppets, musicians, etc. A complete list is available upon request.

I'm a full-time VO actor and coach with over 20 years of experience. I have also been a Program Director, Music Director, On-Air Personality and Voice-Over Talent at New York City's SIRIUS Satellite Radio and WQXR-FM. I have been proud to represent clients such as the Smithsonian Institution, U.S. Government, General Electric, Sands Casino Resort, Crayola, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Lutron Electronics, Yellowstone and Minuteman National Parks, Jim Beam, Olympus, Just Born Candies and Cisco Systems, among others. I have a dual degree in Communications and Fine Arts. I hosted my own daily radio show, interviewed celebrities and did voice-over work regularly at SIRIUS. My NYC coaches for commercial VO, narration and audiobooks include Bruce Kronenberg from Marla Kirban Voiceovers and Emma Lewis. I have an extensive knowledge of classical music and the arts, training as a solo and choral singer, and a formal education as both a broadcaster and public relations practitioner. I am also a singer-songwriter and have worked in musical theater for many years. I enjoy classic films, historical biographies and archival recordings. These things have been a great inspiration to me when creating characters and diverse voices. My equipment includes: VocalBooth.com Platinum Series double-walled booth Shure KSM27 microphone SM Pro Audio TB202 Tube PreAmp Audacity HP 270-P024 Source-Connect and phone patch in-studio I can send all file formats (WAV, mp3, AIFF, etc.) as needed, on demand. I also have easy access to several top-level, professional recording studios in the Greater NYC area with SourceConnect and ISDN capabilities. I look forward to working with you!
