Brad Venable
Dallas, Texas, United States
Highlights
Do you want a superhero for your voice? Then look no further. Brad Venable is a mild-mannered voice actor by day, and Voiceover Superhero at night. He loves to swoop in and voice for projects just like yours, saving the day from amateurish pretenders who just pose and posture. Brad will leap from character to character in a single bound, turn around copy into recording faster than a speeding bullet, and in a voice more powerful than a locomotive. No job is too big or too small for the Voiceover Superhero, from characters that save the day or maniac supervillains, to the everyday fireman that saves your kitty caught up in a tree. Brad's warm and friendly personality behind the mic translates to the perfect guy next door. A natural delivery with warmth and character makes Brad into whatever your copy calls for. Strong, snarky, savvy, whimsical, smart, natural, smart-aleck, dry. You provide the copy, Brad owns it. Brad Venable wants to be the superhero for your project. Hire him today.

Testimonials
Harmonic Films
“Brad is a pleasure to work with - For my film he managed to create a cast of completely unique and diverse character voices with just the minimum of direction. We were all very impressed with Brad’s work and wouldn't hesitate to use his talents again in the future.”
~ Paul Roberts, Harmonic Films
DoodleDoo
“Brad did the voice over for one of our educational flash games, King Tut. Not only was Brad a pleasure to correspond with, he also understood our tight deadline and made a super fast delivery. His character voice as British Explorer was excellent and really gave that extra dimension to the game.”
~Thea Eaton, DoodleDoo
