At the same time it can be that soft & deep voice for documentaries, meditative/instructional voice. I love being funny, too, i.e. cartoons, other characters, impressions & various other forms of voice acting.
Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects"Boro" comes to mind. "Boro" was my impression of Sasha Baren Choen's "Borat" character, and we named him Boro for all the typical reasons. This impression of mine was commonly used around the office, until one of our sales reps tapped me to use the impression for a radio ad. It was a hit with the client- A greeeeeeeeeeeeat success!
I can do Don Lafontaine for movie trailers, old time gangsters, i.e. pre-TV radio programs,-" Yeah copper, yeah!", I am a white man but another impression of mine sounds just like Tim Meadows' "Ladies man" character, I do many accents- I'd have to say my best is Scottish; like Fat Bastard, others include British (all kinds, i.e. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, James Bond, Monty Python), German/Austrian (Schwarzenegger), Russian, middle-Eastern, there are even some that i don't know how to classify- they are filed under "other"!
I'm a great Santa for the holidays, lots of Halloween voices, most notably, Dracula. I Love voice acting! Other impressions and characterizations include: Peter Griffin from Family Guy, Batman, Dick Cheney, Nick Nolte, Sly Stallone, Ren & Stimpy, Old-time radio announcer, i.e., "attention ladies and gentleman...", Regis Philbin, Michael Buffer- ringside announcer (be careful!), Bevis & Butthead, Lot's of Hank Azaria's voices on the Simpson's- Moe, Chief Wiggum, Auto, comic book shop guy(?). My Voice Experience Time Warner Cable, ATT&T, Nissan, & Buffalo Wild Wings are just a few ads I have done. I'm an experienced radio guy (12 years). I've attempted, and very often nailed, anything I've had thrown my way. It's usually whatever's popular at the time, and it's usually relative to cutting creative and unique commercial ads. Most of my voiceover background is drawn from my radio experience- both in the production studio & as an on-air talent. It has become a passion, still is.
Radio, particularly compettitive, mid-sized markets, is full of many busy, superficial sales reps (I just call them "sales", but there are rare exceptions). So when "sales" comes begging you to cut a spec spot for their new client, they will desperately ask you to hang the moon for them. It must dazzle. I always try and do my best, and it didn't take long before I found myself way too busy cutting spots for clients. 6-7 years ago a co-worker, also a voiceover pro for quite some time, told me I was quite good. They also told me I was being screwed (pardon my French)! That is to say, I was making 5-10 radio spots per week, at least, in-house. For FREE!
It wasn't very long after that I equipped myself with a home studio and started freelancing for local clients and agencies. Presently, I produce various sonic files, voiceovers for tv/radio, full commercial ads, instructional videos, narations, for regional and national clients. I continue trying to land a roster spot for a national agency where I can further grow, and reach my full potential as a voiceover professional.
