Paul van Geldrop | Voice over actor

Everything is a story; get YOURS told the right way! Whether it’s a telephone greeting, a Youtube video on insurance possibilities, or a promotional ad about an exciting new medical product, everything is a story, and every story needs the right storyteller! Stories can take many different forms, and we tell them for different reasons. Through stories, we can educate, inspire, comfort, challenge, amuse, convince, or even tease our listeners. The way we tell our stories, the tone and emotions we put into them, the subtle accents we place in certain spots, and even the subtle application of a pause; all these determine how the audience hears your story and the message you wish to bring across. Every story needs the right storyteller, and I will be yours. My work ethic I have three simple principles I always follow: Don’t compromise on quality I always aim to deliver the best possible quality. I take the time to prepare scripts, find the right intonation and emotions for the story, ensure that the audio quality is pristine, and my voice is in its best condition. I don’t settle for mediocre takes, careless pronunciation, or background noises, no matter how slight. To ensure the best possible quality, I work with high-end audio equipment, a custom vocal booth, and professional mixing and mastering software such as Izotope’s RX8 Advanced, Ozone 9 and other plugins, and listen to everything on my studio monitors and my Neumann NDH 20 headphones before sending something over. I also constantly work on improving my skills through coaching, courses, and lots and lots of practice. I passionately believe in the importance of quality and will always go the extra mile to get it. I believe every story deserves nothing less than the absolute best. Communication is key to understanding A lesson I’ve learned through my work as a project manager and manager is that communication can make or break a relationship. I want there to be no barrier for someone to approach me and want my clients to be able to give any form of feedback they have. I want to hear any objections or concerns you might have so that I can address them appropriately. Do you feel a certain pause might be too long, and would like a version with that pause shortened? Of course! Perhaps you’re unsure of something in the tone of voice, or the stress on a certain word? Don’t keep it to yourself, please! I always respond quickly to messages and am happy to answer any questions you may have. When I get to tell your story, I want to know how to tell it best; it’s your story! Transparency is the best long-term strategy It’s not uncommon for me to politely decline a project when I feel I am not the right person for the job, don’t have the time needed to deliver a quality product, or have some other objection. When this happens, I’ll be completely transparent as to why I’m doing so. When I offer a price for a project, it’s based on the amount of work needed to deliver the best possible quality. Though this sometimes leads to a customer going with another voice actor, I am perfectly fine with that; I don’t want to compromise on quality just to earn a few extra bucks. I believe your story deserves the best storyteller for the job, and when that’s not me, that’s just fine!
