Bernardo Guzman-Blanco

My voice is generally described as warm, soothing, approachable, confident, earnest, versatile, multifaceted, epic (I have the texts to prove this one! ha!), emotive, expressive, honest, sincere, energetic and more. I have a love for voices, so I dabble into the cartoony, brooding, brash, boisterous, heroic, secretive, mysterious, supportive, outspoken, driven and any number of character and vocal archetypes. My falsetto is quite functional, but more in the realm of Super Mario Bros.' Mario than Bart Simpson. I can deliver an over-the-top character read or a calm, even narration. Multiple characters and character archetypes (esp. for video game, anime, cartoons, animation), a handful of impressions, a smattering of sound-alikes. Character archetypes include OTT heroic, warm and relatable audience-insert, young male protagonist, broody and gruff, villainous and threatening, various caricatures, wizened old man, gnome, haughty noble, et al. Fluent neutral American English, competent Scottish, Irish, British-ish, French, Eastern European and Spaniard-accented English. Passable Southern (US), good NYC and similar accents. Decently-ranged falsetto. Can sing without causing glasses to explode or dogs to hide. In Spanish, fluent neutral Latin American Spanish, dabble in Mexican, Colombian, Argentine and Spain Spanish.

I was a trained media spokesperson for Nintendo for 5 years (EN and ES), and did some light internal recording work with them for online video spots. I've taken VO 101 basics series at VoiceTrax and at Google (8 sessions each) and Videogame character-specific classes with Claire Fry (4 sessions). Current equipment includes an AT-2035 directional condenser mic w/suspension arm and pop filter, a pair of Scarlett AV interfaces (XLR to USB-C), MacBook Pro as primary recording / editing platform, Twisted Wave & Avid SW (various).
