Madeleine French Voice

Standard French (Worldwide) European French (for France) Canadian French (for Québec) French-Accented English

Extensive experience as a professional voice talent, for major corporations worldwide, smaller local businesses, and the United Nations. Voice over dubbing and lip-synching. Promotional, industrial, instructional, educative and eLearning videos, TV and radio spots, webmercials, in-store commercials, IVRS and telephony, on-hold marketing. Animation. Video games. Audiobooks (e.g. for Audible and John Marshall Media). With a master degree in French literature, I first worked as a professor of literature. It was my first step towards performing. I have a strong knowledge of linguistics and phonetics which proved helpful when I moved to New York City, and started a new career in the voice-over business, first as a translator of audio-video material and then quickly, and mostly, as a voice-over talent. My very first job as a voice talent was fun and rewarding. I had it in me, I was good at it! I have a good sense of language, I'm a good and efficient reader, and people were telling me I had a great voice. Since then, I learned a lot by working on all kinds of projects. From the driest, most technical or scientific scripts to the warmest, most smiley or witty TV or radio commercials -- including cartoons. I also have extensive experience in telephony. I'm a good reader of IVR systems messages and phone prompts, fast and efficient, still pleasant and consistent after the 1,500th prompt...
