Benjamin Whittier

I am bilingual English/Spanish.I can speak English with a Latin or French accent, or Spanish with an American accent. I also do English aristocratic or Cockney style.

My professional voice-over experience includes the following A-list clients: -Coca-Cola -Bacardi -Margaret -Astor -Renault -Cortefiel -John Deere -KPFT -Mighty Books -Fox TV -RTVE and more... These gigs required the use of the gamut of my musical, vocal, and technical abilities, covering everything from a basic V.O., to composing and singing jingles, to translating copy to and from English/Spanish, to producing, recording, and editing an entire spot. My training started as a professional radio DJ, then as an actor, as well as, a national TV host in Spain. I have produced radio shows, both live and canned, music productions, multimedia productions, and audio-post for film. My main voice-over training comes from hours upon hours in the studio doing voice-over work for my various radio, TV, and film projects, both as talent and talent/producer. Although, that said, I have received formal academic training from the following: -Drama studies with the late and great Lurene Tuttle (USA) and Zulema Katz (Spain) -Classical Training (Moores School of Music at the University of Houston) -Gospel Choir Training (Toured for one year around the world with the A.M. Union Bethel Choir) -Solo Recording Artist (Polygram Iberica and WEA [Warner Electra and Arista]) So, while I have clocked many hours in the studio as a V.O. artist, I also have years of experience performing and recording for other vocal disciplines.
