    Rick has such an amazing voice and is super great to work with. Beyond his voice talent, he's super responsive to emails and very quick to turn around on the deliverables. I'd give him a 6th star if I could.
    Thanks! You are an excellent director. Enjoyed doing a comedy spot!

    • Additional vocal abilities
      Rick Wimberly offers a deep, warm, authoritative male voice with strong appeal for commercial, narration, documentary, audiobook, and character-driven projects. His voice is often described as trusted, grounded, cinematic, and relatable, making him well suited for roles requiring credibility, emotional intelligence, and clear storytelling. His primary strength is storytelling voice work—natural, conversational delivery that sounds lived-in rather than announcer-driven. Rick excels in long-form narration, including audiobooks, documentaries, narrative podcasts, scripted audio, and cinematic projects, where pacing, clarity, and listener connection are essential. Although raised in the South, Rick typically performs with a neutral American / Midwestern accent, making his voice difficult to geographically place and ideal for national and regional campaigns. When requested, he can introduce authentic Southern, Texas, or Western accents, and TransAtlantic without exaggerated drawl or caricature. Rick can voice older male characters, authority figures, mentors, fathers, grandfathers, and quietly eccentric personalities. His character voice work focuses on realism and believability rather than vocal gimmicks, using subtle changes in rhythm, tone, texture, and attitude to create distinct characters that remain clear and grounded—especially effective for audiobooks, games, narrative audio, and story-driven content. Depending on direction, Rick’s voice can sound raspy and weathered, calm and reassuring, or clear and approachable. His delivery carries quiet energy and restraint, appealing across demographics while maintaining authenticity. Casting professionals and coaches often reference similarities in overall tone and presence to Donald Sutherland, Sam Elliott, Tom Bodett, and occasionally Wilford Brimley. These comparisons describe texture and gravitas only—Rick does not perform impersonations. Rick is comfortable in directed sessions, takes direction efficiently, and records from a broadcast-quality home studio. He is Source-Connect ready and delivers clean, professional audio with fast turnaround.
