Barry Zoeller’s voice has been heard on radio and television throughout the country for 20+ years. He's voiced countless commercials, documentaries, promos, corporate videos, fund raising videos and news programs; he's been the on-camera talent for live and recorded programs; and is a sought-after master of ceremonies and spokesperson.
Barry began using his voice professionally at age 13 when he became the public address announcer at his local little league park, where he was paid with snow cones and hot dogs! In high school, he continued announcing football and basketball games, was the voice of the morning announcements, and launched a successful high school career in speech and debate, eventually earning a scholarship to Loyola Marymount University. He later transferred to Ozark Christian College where he studied for the ministry. Barry got married while still in college, and needing additional income and a job that would fit around his classes, he began working for the school's maintenance department. It didn't take long for him to conclude that he would rather talk than mop, so Barry began working in local radio and television, and during his senior year of college, he was promoted to the late news anchor spot for the local ABC affiliate. At 21 years of age, he was one of--if not the youngest main news anchor in the country. Barry would eventually spend more than 15 years in television news as an anchor, producer, reporter and news director. Midway through his broadcast journalism career, Barry jumped into the world of film production and wrote, produced and directed two motion pictures for the Christian Film market; and later launched a production that became an ABC Movie of the Week. Barry's also very comfortable in the corporate world, where's he's held executive positions in corporate communications, marketing, promotions and public relations. In all these cases, he's been voice of his company and its various communication endeavors.
Barry is constantly working to master his craft and improve his performance as a voice actor. He wants you to get his best! He’s participated in workshops and has studied with Kalmenson & Kalmenson, Nancy Wolfson and Edge Studios.
Barry has equipped his acoustically treated home studio with high-quality audio gear (Sennheiser 416, Rode 1A, Audio Technica & MXL mics; Twisted Wave DAW; Focusrite, MacBook Air) so that he can deliver you a broadcast quality audio file, be it an mp3, wav, aiff or other file extension. Depending on the size of the project, most files can be delivered within 24 hours, often much sooner.
He can be directed via Skype, Source Connect Now or mobile phone. Barry also has access to a local ISDN studio or can connect directly with you via an ISDN bridging service.
Barry's goal is for your project to exceed your expectations and he will do everything in his power to see that happen. Your satisfaction is his number one priority! He’s easily directed and will deliver the read you’re looking for, whether it’s a :30 second commercial or a long-form narration.
