Highlights
First of all, THANK YOU to the 33 wonderful clients who have awarded me 5-STAR ratings. I make life easy for production houses and direct clients who need voice overs for their projects. You'll get fast turnaround and I pay extreme attention to the nuances of your script for a delivery that works for you.
My voice overs include radio and television commercials, Internet and Website narration, corporate and industrial narration, instructional and medical videos, IVR phone systems and on-hold messages, training and tutorial videos, animation and video games, documentary narration, instruction and how-to videos, and interactive adventure-based learning as well as standard e Learning courses.
Top 6 Voice Over Catagories:
1. Business: Weather it's a standalone location, a retail chain, all the way to a large corporation, my own personal business experience helps me communicate the way a businessman and business woman can relate to. Authoritative, professional, to the point, and believable. If you're an enterprise, let's talk!
2. Internet: I'd be thrilled to help your Website dominate your piece of the cloud. The world wide web is the fastest growing marketing segment, and I'd be happy to be a part of your corner of the Web.
3. Radio: As a veteran radio broadcaster, I have recorded and produced 100's of radio commercials over 20+ years of broadcasting. Let me help sell your product or service on the airwaves.
4. Television: A network quality TV voice, or an expressive, catchy character, I can help bring your television campaign to life.
5. Education: eBook voice overs or other types of instructional narrations require a patient, clear, and authoritative approach. I can provide you many examples of my educational and training voice over projects.
6. Instructional: Similar to educational but different. To have a listener understand "how to," the speaker must create a certain rhythm. It needs to be as entertaining as possible, but without sounding like entertainment.
Former Philadelphia radio personality and spokesman (and current film actor) with 20+ years experience. I can bring you a wide range of styles. From the guy next door to corporate spokesperson, movie trailer, and much more.
Please add me to your FAVORITES list so you can easily find me when you need me.

Voice Over Specialties
1. Dad or Father Image: A soothing, reassuring, and mature approach that creates trust.
2. Edgy: Irascible, hip, touchy, sarcastic, slick,satirical, and caustic delivery is a specialty of mine. An off the cuff, personally cutting style to add a flair to your voice over production.
3. Eerie: Downright creepy, sinister, menacing, and supernatural. Ask for my Rod Serling type of interpretation.
4. Drama: An interpretation of script meant to sound like I'm speaking directly to the listener. Not to sound announcerish or too polished. A feat of acting more than voice work. Sounds real and convincing.
5. Angry Man: This blue collar regular Joe has had it up to here. And he can deliver that mood without knocking you over the head with it. Great for political, causes, public service, and more.

Testimonials

Excellent quality! Superb professionalism!
Tom Patterson, USI

Dan was quite frankly, excellent. First time we used him, but the marketing department has already decided to use him for the follow-up campaigns. He was professional, easy to work with, and delivered the finished product two days earlier than the deadline. We highly recommend him.
