For five decades, I have used my voice to inform, educate, and entertain — on radio, television, and the web. And despite all the changes that have taken place in the media, one thing is still true – your audience will respond better to your message when you use a professional voice to tell your story.

Broadcast

I started my voice career in broadcast news. Today, it is still one of my favorite areas for voice services. If you manage a radio or televison news operation, or if you are responsible for providing syndication services to radio or television stations, I might be just what you need for narration services.

Short-Form Audio

Short-form audio is like an informational podcast – only much shorter and to-the-point. Corporations use short-form audio to provide bite-sized information packages that can help inform the audience about products or services. They can sound newsy in style or as part of a corporate sound that is developed to identify the company or organization with the messages.

Podcasts

While podcasts have been around for a while, in the last few years, they have really taken off. Audiences like getting information and entertainment while driving or doing other things. The narrator can be the podcast creator, or in my case, a narrator who can interact with the podcast creator in many creative ways – from introductions to questions and answers to full narration of program.

Audio Books

If you are an author with a book ready for market, having your book in audio format will expand the reach and profitability of your creative project. Some authors will want to narrate their own books. Most, however, will hire a professional narrator who works with audio and audio editing every day. That’s where I can help. My specialty are non-fiction books, especially history. These projects benefit from a more authoritative narration style. Once recorded, I can also edit and process the audio files to the technical requirements of Amazon’s Audible Books, Google Play, and other popular audio book distribution channels.

YouTube Videos

Video is central to the massive YouTube ecosystem. But when you analyze the most successful channels on YouTube, you will find that these content creators pay a lot of attention to the audio, YouTube itself stresses the importance of high-quality audio, including the narration of video projects. Adding professional narration that isn’t computer-generated will mean more engaged viewers who will stay with your video to the end.

Corporate Narration

The use of audio in corporate communications and marketing is almost limitless. From branding to training, from public relations to sales and marketing, I can help your company communicate better with narration that matches the quality of your writing and video. Are you a marketing manager at your company, looking for help in developing video and audio projects?
