Voiceover services by male voice talent Chuck Brown: What is a Voice Talent?

Description

I grew up listening to the radio, and was fascinated...both with the music and the voices of the guys who filled the spaces between the songs with entertaining and informative banter (sadly, a lost art these days). I dabbled in radio beginning at age 16, and was working part-time on the air at age 17 and full-time the following year. I enjoyed the work, and was well-received by the listening audience. I voiced many hundreds of commercials, and produced a live weekly children's show with a loyal and active listener base. However, after a few years, I realized that the life of an air personality wasn't necessarily conducive to stability of income or family relationships, so I moved into other fields.

However, I had discovered one important thing during my radio days: I had a real gift for communication and timing. While people often mentioned the quality of my voice, I kept hearing more comments along these lines: "you really get the point across when you read something", "what you say really sticks with me" or "you really sound like you know what you're talking about when you read". After helping a few friends with their commercials, I found that I was starting to get more work as a voice talent. I've never taken classes or had coaching (although there's no doubt in my mind that they'd be of benefit to me). And, while I've occasionally had talent agencies working on my behalf, I've never had an exclusive relationship with an agency beyond a locale here or there.

I've never had the kind of earth-shattering deep voice that makes you think of movie trailers or rock radio imaging. And I don't sound like The Guy Next Door...a popular trend in recent years, although I feel that it tends to wear thin when everyone uses it. What I do is somewhere in-between. My voice is deep enough to sound authoritative, but common enough to be accessible, and I've got enough general knowledge and experience to sound like I've got a clue about the subject matter. I sound like I'm interested because I am...
