Voice Description

Barry's rich, warm, fun-loving voice has been described as the voice of 'the Dad you wish you had.' A baritone-bass with an expressive range, Barry's voice-overs can range from young to old, naive to world-weary, and from sincere, warm, fatherly concern to the slightly off-kilter, goofy dad that parents chuckle at and kids gravitate to. Barry's studio setup includes Adobe Audition software and state-of-the-art digital recording equipment. Files can be delivered via the internet (e-mail or FTP) in a wide variety of audio formats or via overnight CD. An excellent singer, bass/baritone/falsetto, Barry can cover ranges from folk (James Taylor) to operetta (Howard Keel/Robert Goulet) to rock (Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen). Barry is also a guitarist - electric, acoustic and bass. Dialects: American Midwest, American South, American New England, English (various), Australian, Irish, Monty Python, Scottish, Finnish/Fargo/Yooper. (If you don't know what a 'Yooper' is, call Barry and ask for a demonstration!) Impersonations: Stitch, Dumbledore, Hagrid, McGonagall, Goofy, Plankton, Squidward, Schwarzenegger, Robert Stack, Captain Hook, Don Lafontaine, Reverend Jim and many more. Barry tells stories to his kids all the time so he gets lots of practice!
