My clients can say it much better than I can: "Matt is fantastic to work with: enthusiastic, responsive, and talented. He's able to provide a variety of reads that deliver whatever nuance in tone and feel I need to satisfy my clients. After working with him over the last three-plus years, I recommend Matt Shivers to anyone looking for a top-notch voice artist."

He's very versatile, able to modify his voice to suit the project I'm working on." - Griffin Hammond, Filmmaker "A great voice talent resource. He is easy to work with, asked the right questions, and understood exactly what we needed. I would recommend Matt to anyone." - Chris Lukeman, Railsplitter Media "Matt has an incredible gift from voice over talent to audio production. His work is consistent and always meets my expectations. He's does whatever it takes to do the job on time and within budget. He has a great voice range." Caroline Zimmerman, Simple Solutions Marketing "Matt is a great resource for our company. In addition to the fact that he is extremely talented, he has always provided us with prompt service and was willing to do whatever was needed to make the project the best it could be." Joe Taylor, Sleepy Creek Studios As a kid, I had a knack for voices and impersonations...so I guess you could say it all started there and then continued through school (Speech Team, School Plays, etc.). I used to be a Production Director for several Illinois radio properties. Not only would I voice many of the commercials, but also write, edit, produce and direct talent. I wasn't your typical music over announcer "radio guy." I wanted my commercials to be effective for the client and also engaging for the listener. Whenever possible, there was a narrative involved that made the spot memorable and drove business to the advertiser. Today, I'm working for myself. Recent projects have included commercial work, short films, industrial safety and corporate communication. If you want more specific examples, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd love to work with you!
