EXPERIENCE: In my over 25 years as a professional, I have provided thousands of voice overs for just about every purpose, from commercials, narrations, promos and imaging, to real estate highlight videos, sizzle reels, video games, product launches, website intros, whiteboard presentations, training sessions, explainer videos and more. I work closely with a host of advertising agencies and independent producers to create broadcast quality voice overs from my own professional grade studio. I'm an experienced radio air personality, TV Station Booth Announcer, on-camera commercial spokesperson, and professional musician/entertainer. My background in acting and music ensures my timing and rhythm are appropriate and effective. CLIENTS: I am the voice of the Harley Davidson slot machines in casinos worldwide, of John Deere Forestry Equipment, and of several other series of regional and local TV, radio and web campaigns.

TESTIMONIALS: "The client described David's work on this one as 'Perfection'. We couldn't agree more! David was great to work with on this project. He was able to get us everything we needed promptly and audio quality was always awesome. A great talent and a true professional. 5 +STARS." Michael B. "David was awesome. Very professional with a quick turn around. He was very open to suggestion and direction, and executed multiple styles quite easily." Grant C. "I was watching a commercial during a Sunday football game when I heard this amazing narration in the background of the ad. I googled the commercial name and found out that this narrator was David Byrd. I sent him an email with my idea and script and within a day or two, he sent back the finished voiceover. It was better than I ever could have expected and made my project what it is. One of the best voiceover artists I've heard. 100% will use him for his services again in the future." Josh Pohlman, Producer "David, you are the master! Thank you for turning that out so quickly and flawlessly. You are truly a professional." Shane D. - Immix Productions "David was so great to work with, and international distance didn't cause even the slightest issue. He was extremely fast, delivered the lines exactly as we'd described, and was incredibly friendly and enthusiastic about the project. Definitely wouldn't have any reservations asking him to bring more characters to life for us in future games! Thanks so much David!" Adam S. - Western Press Video Games "David was quick, efficient and easy to work with for our radio commercial. He knew exactly what kind of voice we wanted and even gave us two choices with different inflections. I highly recommend his work and may use him again for future projects". Katie S. - Bridger Steel Co. "We were working on a very quick turn around job and were desperate for a quality VO before sending to our client. David Byrd went above and beyond to help us bring the project to life under insane time restraints, and with limited guidance. He helped make what could have been a stressful situation much easier, and with a professional and caring demeanor. I would recommend David to anyone in need of a high quality and powerful voice over artist. I intend to work with him much more in the future, and look forward to the opportunity." Travis T. - Overcoast "Client is really happy! Fantastic work." Steven A. - ShoulderHill Entertainment "David, thank you for giving your big-time voice talent to our small town production. Your talents are amazing and I hope we can do more!" Frank C. - Cann Productions "David was great to work with. He stayed in constant communication and worked hard to make sure he captured the spirit and tone we were looking for. I look forward to working with David again on a future project." Mike G. - SalesForce "Spot on reads the first time. No need for revisions. Highly recommended!" Elements Digital Video Productions TRAINING: Los Angeles Broadcasters, Inc.
