Voice Over Menu
“You have a perfect radio voice! You should do voices!”
I really have heard that for most of my life, so let me put that voice to work for you!
Many projects work well with a variation of my normal speaking voice while others require a more announcer-style voice - and still others require a softer friendlier tone.
Listen to the demos on this page to get a good sample of what these voices sound like and let me know how I can apply one of these styles to your project.
I can quickly and easily range between all of these intonations and more just let me know what style you’d like to hear and we’ll get a great voice over done for your production today!
I can record your audiobook or literary narration in a pleasant contemporary western male voice. I can also add variations in narration style, tone, and cadence along with custom character voices.
Not sure how much you have? Send me the word count or script and I will generate a custom quote for you.
Unsure what you need? Got a really unusual book? Need something others are unable or unwilling to try? Contact me with any questions and I'd be glad to discuss what you're working on and work up a custom quote. I enjoy unusual requests!
I was born and raised in the deep DEEP southern US, so if there’s a male voice, dialect, or inflection from that region you’d like to add to your production - I’m your guy!
This is vocal style that comes very naturally to me and that’s what part of what makes it so much fun. Many of the projects I get using this voice are a lot of fun as well (see below.) I can usually distinguish between many regional dialects as well (Louisiana/Cajun, Texas, Mississippi, Carolinas, Georgia, etc.) and if you have a particular style you’d like - let’s talk and get the perfect sound for what you’re working on.
Within those accents I’m generally able to range from gentile and distinguished to tough and hardscrabble …or if you’d just like me to sound like a generic redneck I can do that too!
In addition, my experience and raising allow me to replicate several popular idiolects (individual accents / impressions) so if there’s a particular person you’d like me to imitate I can likely get that done for you as well.
Let’s get to talkin’, y’all!
Performing a great character voice is the most challenging - and the most FUN!
I love playing around with different characters and it never gets old. Imitating famous and popular voices is always enjoyable and I have a roster of those voices which I can easily reproduce. It’s also great fun to try and practice on less familiar voices and work on how to make them my own.
Do you have a particular character voice in mind for something you are working on? Let’s talk and I’ll provide a great match for your project’s character voice needs.
Imitating a character’s voice or vocal style is one thing. Creating and developing a brand new character through a voice is quite another.
Working in collaboration with authors, illustrators, animators, and others we can develop not only a voice for your characters, but an entire personality and life. As a voice actor you must be able to speak, shout, laugh, cry, whisper, and make every emotive sound your character does or may ever make. Developing this new entity is an exciting and creatively rewarding process!
Having a great image as a business, service, or campaign is crucial. Being available to your audience is as well. When your clients reach out to you they will often do so by phone, but a phone system can be sometimes be confusing, impersonal, and off-putting.
The first voice they hear should set the correct tone for the rest of the interaction. A great voice can go a long way toward making your audience feel more at ease and welcomed - leaving you better positioned to provide excellent service. It always helps if they’re happy from the first contact, so let me provide a clean, crisp, pleasant tone for your Phone, Voicemail, IVR or other automated response system.
I’m glad to provide a range of audio file formats, file splitting, and custom file naming conventions to allow for easy integration into your system
Give me a call (or E-Mail) to discuss your organization’s individual needs.
“I can’t tell if that’s you talking or the computer talking.”
This is another one I’ve heard many times over the years. I didn’t start off doing it intentionally, but as artificial text-to-speech systems got better and closer to human speech they started to sound more and more like … me!
When I read instructions, numbers, or technical details over the phone I always try to be well understood by speaking very clearly and deliberately - and it comes out sounding mechanical. Perhaps my background as an amateur radio operator has something to do with it as well. Whatever the reason - it may sound robotic, but it works!
If you have a voice over or character that requires a computer, robotic, or otherwise mechanical sounding voice - I’ve got you covered.
I used to be a news junkie. I’ve been clean for years.
During those years I worked full-time in broadcast news and learned a great deal about news copy: How to write it - and more importantly - how to read it and speak it.
I can record your news copy or other similar text in a classic newscaster-style voice with ease. News copy has one of the quickest turnaround times of any voice recording work so if you’re in a hurry - chances are I can have your recording back to you in a (news) flash.
I will read in a style which is appropriate for the subject matter - or with any feeling or style you desire. I can even imitate a few famous news voices if you’d like. Just let me know what you’re after and we can work together to get it done - fast!
