R.E. Darst

Scandinavian, UK English, US regional accents

I'm presently the voice of People's United Bank, the largest regional consumer/commercial bank in New England, with spots appearing on radio, television and in sports arenas across the New York tristate/Boston area. I'm also the anchor behind the web series "A Practical Alternative," which is a complete web-based tutorial on popular investment strategies and terminology. I am a former news agency stringer who moved into broadcast business journalism and markets writing and have pivoted once again into mass-market radio and consumer-friendly commercial voiceovers. In my spare time, I study improv and standup comedy, which has been a great asset in the more mainstream radio and commercial work that I'm now doing. While I'm no longer a journalism practitioner, my experience with multiple financial asset classes and global macro political and economic news provides just the right level of gravitas to business and professional projects.
