Dottie Janson

I can do basic characterization for simple stories or animation. Examples: the young overly excited woman the scared child the snarly older woman the witch frogs and dogs and poly-wogs (gruff animal voices) motherly clucks (soothing, motherly animal voices) the gruff man the shy young lady the assured business woman the woman lacking confidence a group of girls talking amongst themselves

How I Got Started - I began my voice over career as an experiment in 'building something to do when my day job ended' but it quickly blossomed into more than a hobby and side business. The more I explored the craft, the more intriguing it became and the more time I spent honing my craft and building the business. Every day I learn something new about this industry that makes me a reliable professional that you will never regret hiring. My Background - My years of experience working in large corporate businesses, Information Technology and Benefits Administration provide a bonus to any producer requiring a realistic interpretation as I am well versed in the vocabularies of these specialty areas. My Voice Over Specialties - I specialize in conversational voiceovers - telling stories, commercials, e-learning, museum exhibits, documentaries and any type of narrative requiring a conversational style.
