    Dean was great to work with! Very responsive, nailed what the client wanted in the first round, and enabled us to hit a tight deadline. I can’t wait to work with him again!

    Great experience working with Dean. He was professional and easy to work with throughout the entire project. The narration sounds excellent, holds your attention from beginning to end, and is genuinely enjoyable to listen to. We’re very happy with the final audiobook.

I'm Dean Wendt, THE VOICE of Barney the Dinosaur for over 20 years on the Emmy Award-winning PBS series Barney & Friends. I'm a SAG-eligible voice actor based in Dallas–Fort Worth, and my reads are conversational, believable, and real. Clients include ABC, SeaWorld, AT&T (heard in stores around the globe), Pep Boys, V8, Taco Bell, Miller Lite, Mattel, and the Tampa Bay Rays. What I voice: political spots and campaign ads, TV and radio commercials, corporate and medical narration, eLearning and explainers, promos and trailers, sports, characters and animation, and phone/IVR prompts. My playlists are organized by category so you can hear exactly the style you need. Broadcast-quality home studio with fast turnaround. I take direction easily, and I can produce a finished spot with music and FX if you need it. Accents: Neutral, Mid-Atlantic, Texas, Southern, New York, Midwestern. More at www.VOthatsREAL.com.
