Ari Ross is a voice actor located in Dallas, TX, USA. He has been actively working as a voice actor since 1988. He is known for his work as the Superhero Style Announcer in Superheroes of Finance!, V/O in Verizon Telephone prompts and National Promo Announcer in Who Wants to be a Millionaire?. He has worked for a diverse pool of clients and brands, such as Tonight Show Characters, Verizon and Apple Computer. Listen to 34 voice over samples that showcase his best work.
Ari Ross is a voice-over artist from Los Angeles who specializes in character and conversational voiceover. Ari is "Financial Core" so can do union or nonunion.
CHARACTERS = anything from subtle to wacky, wild and way over the top beings (and objects!) That speak or make a variety of noises. This can also be a very conversational "human" sounding character.
CONVERSATIONAL = Guy next door, business owner, very real non-actor. (A subcategory could be, "messy" conversational" which would include stuttering, "err" and "uhhh", "Um," etc.).
PROMOS = from Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (2 seasons) To station promos, Fox Sports and more, Ari knows PROMOS.
TRAILERS – Family fare, comedic to deep dark driving dramatic
IMPRESSIONS – from Homer Simpson to Sam Elliott, Ari can Liver.
Key points of Ari's work would be attention to detail, fast turnaround and friendly service.
