Barry Trussell
Huntington Beach, CA, United States
Highlights
The biggest advantage Clients find with Barry's voice is a compelling, believable, youthful sound with mid range pitch; it has a sparkle to it and one that has people pay attention.
In the youthful range a short descriptive phrase would read, "Happy go lucky"! Close in pitch and character to Michael J Fox.
As Barry's range goes from younger to more mature, his voice characteristics and benefit to clients now naturally fit the age range through inflection and acting. So becoming the 30's something to the old crotchety guy becomes a natural fit as well.
His voice is not deep and not announcerish, in 3 words it’s flexible, young, and truthful, which are additional benefits to Clients.
Barry's commercial demo gives a nice flavor (in order) from start to end with youthful through mature. Another benefit to Clients is the availability of custom demos with projects that have a minimum budget of $150 USD.
