About Dan
Dan Dykstra is a voice actor located in Matthews, NC, USA. He has been actively working as a voice actor since 2011. Listen to 5 voice over samples that showcase his best work.
I have a deep, rich voice (I sing low bass), which works especially well for narrations. Having been raised in the midwest, I have very little (if any) regional accent. Further, my reading is very clear, which would work well in presentations.
My training in speech and drama enables me to execute dramatic readings very well, and I have a great sense of humor and can covey that through my voice (especially through the use of strategic pauses and intonation).
Past vocal coaches have told me that I have a warm voice that instills trust.
So...narrations? Documentaries? Commercials for non-FDA approved toothpastes that make audacious claims about their whitening power? Yeah -- I can do that.

- Additional vocal abilitiesI do a great impersonation of Jimmy Stewart, can mimic Garrison Keillor, and have, on occasion, done impressions of Hank Hill (i.e. King of the Hill). I'm also regularly called upon to be the voice of God. Like, all the time.
- Experience, training, and equipmentI've been speaking, narrating, reciting, performing, and emceeing for years. It seems that I'm continually asked to do stuff like that, partly because I'm not afraid of speaking in front of large groups, but mostly because I never shut up. Well, almost never...a guy's gotta eat and sleep sometimes. Anyway, here's a list of related experience: COLLEGE 1. Member of the college theater company 2. Comedy writer for the college TV station 3. College radio station DJ for four years 4. Emcee (two years) for a local beauty pageant POST COLLEGE 1. Numerous readings and narrations (primarily for events and programs at my church) 2. Narrated the tutorials for BP's dealer-focused training CD 3. Voiceover for web commercial (Wilson Jones "Capture Card" product) 4. Several 0:30/0:60 spots for various retail brands 5. Narrated five training units for the automotive and manufacturing industries 6. Several audiobook excerpts I use a Blue Microphones Bluebird, connected to a PreSonus USB interface. Recording and mixing completed using Audacity, running on a Windows PC. In addition to my vocal talents, I have a wealth of education and experience in marketing and advertising, and an MBA with specializations in marketing, strategy, and technology from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
