Alan Sivell

I used my voice to tell stories in my first career as a broadcaster. In my second career, as a college professor, I use my voice to keep hungover college students interested in my classes. My voice doesn't have a lot of range, but it projects warmth and sincerity. I've narrated a lot of pieces for museums, including the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque, Iowa; Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park, Arkansas; and Fort Mose Historic State Park, Florida. I helped research, write and did the voice on a documentary for The Coastal Georgia Museum about the dangers in the Atlantic during World War II. I also have written and voiced a short documentary on sculptor Isabel Bloom for the annual Village in Bloom Festival. For Deere and Co., I've done the narration on the CD that accompanies the commemorative issues of models of some of their historic tractors, the audio version of the manuals for their Harvesters and a promotional spot celebrating the anniversary of Deere Harvester Works. I've done in-house work for Genesis Systems and Modern Woodmen Insurance and commercials for local restaurants (usually those wanting to promote warm, fuzzy atmospheres) and the most prominent and trusted eye care professionals in the region. Recently, I did the English narration of a Spanish (college-level) book of exercises. I can also write and edit. I have done so professionally (for newspapers, radio, television and currently for the net - https://letsmoveqc.com/category/alan-sivell-blog/ ) and have 20+ years experience and that is 50% of what I teach.

I don't have a huge ego and often get hired because if it's a toss-up, I have been told, it's because I am easy to work with and don't need 100 takes.
