A motivating, enthusiastic, clear, warm, unique, youthful voice overflowing with energy, heart and passion! Conversational with cartoon like overtones.
Honesty is what I value most, and is what I try my hardest to deliver. I take the genuine passion I have for what I do and make it shine through my work.
I have an in-home recording studio constantly at the ready with a variety of studio quality microphones at my disposal. I'm used to making fresh scripts/reads sound well practiced, with my work often necessitating a mid-sentence ad-lib.
I've performed as a vocalist in death metal, folk, pop and ska bands, performed stand up comedy in various clubs around Toronto, and co-hosted a podcast with ~1000 weekly listeners, 'Offside Hockey Talk'. I'm currently a Twitch Partner streaming at twitch.tv/grathwrang.
Working for multiple Junior hockey teams means I have extensive range and experience with creating distinct PA voices for each team, ranging from over-the top glossy, to smooth and natural, to a thick growl. This unique experience means that I can invent new voices with relative ease, and always look forward to solving the "voice problem" in a new project. Whether passionately announcing a home goal, dead panning an away goal, introducing distinguished guests with dignity and respect, or maintaining fans attention during sponsor reads, my PA announcing experience means I'm ready to handle it all!
Let me make your project my passion!
