As a presenter with American Public Media, communicating in an authentic and effective manner comes naturally to me. My voice is warm, reassuring and refined, and provides a smart delivery for corporate narration or highly technical eLearning modules. Fluent in medical terminology, I am the credible and authoritative voice for patient and doctor-focused narration. What my clients are saying: "Alison has an inviting warmth in her voice that makes you stop what you’re doing and focus on what she’s saying." –Barry Kempton, Artistic and Executive Director, Schubert Club "Alison has a clear, warm voice and the ability to read and interpret copy to give it just the right feel and energy. Alison’s a real pro!" –Wynn Grothem, owner, Tri-Audio Productions "To listen to Alison talk is to embark on a journey with a trusted and pleasing friend." –Jon Limbacher, President, The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra "Alison Young is easy to work with, flexible and she draws in the listener with a sound that is friendly but with authority." –Michael Osborne, Technical Director, Minnesota Orchestra Broadcasts Conversational, Warm, Reassuring, Refined, Smart, Friendly, Approachable, Happy, Bright, Powerful, Engaging, Commercial, Product Intro, Middle Aged Woman, Natural, Business, Intelligent, Smooth, Corporate, Mature, Authoritative, Confident, Sincere, Comforting, Call to Action, Business, eLearning, Education, Narrator, Confident, Broadcast, Television, Radio, Internet

  With fifteen years in front of a microphone and live audiences as a classical music presenter at American Public Media and host of the nationally syndicated radio program SymphonyCast, communicating in an authentic and effective manner comes naturally to me. Life before radio gave me the extraordinary opportunity to perform as a professional flutist with the Boston, Atlanta and Houston Symphonies, recording and making solo appearances on five continents. Exacting standards as well as attention to detail and follow-through to achieve an exceptional finished product are de rigueur in that world and are always a part of my voice over tool box. I hold a Masters Degree in Music from the Cleveland Institute of Music and a Bachelors Degree in Music from the University of Southern California. In addition, I have received further training in vocal performance with Anne Ganguzza, Beth Chaplin and Raye Birk. My home studio: *Sennheiser MK4 Microphone *Audient iD4 Interface *custom-built double walled professional studio. In addition to voice acting, I am a flutist, singer, bicyclist, kayaker, rock climber, cross country skier and log distance backpacker.
