Jurgen has a trained Baritone voice (he has actually sung Opera for a paying audience); it is resonant and authoritative - a slightly lower voiced Morgan Freeman. The 8 demos show just some of the many voices Jurgen can deliver. He has other, more specialized ones, such as "silly uptight woman" and "silly uptight male", and "female heroine". If you have specialized requirements, do give Jurgen a shout - he can help you!
In addition to his exceptional vocal talents, Jurgen also has theatrical experience, performing starring roles for the Williams AMT Theater and the Peoria Players. He has done a great deal of teaching, including teaching night school at Carnegie Mellon, and talks to business groups (see demo).
Jurgen also has education and experience that makes it easier for him to sound convincing and credible. It is just easier to sound like an expert if you actually are a Management Professional in real life.
Jurgen's formal education is ideal for VO: A major in English, a minor in Chemical Engineering, and a Graduate Degree in Industrial Administration. That means he can write and talk, and is comfortable with technical and management subjects.
Mr. Ringer worked his way up to Senior Executive positions through a successful career in Marketing. He then spent years running companies that needed fixing, and starting his own business. So, he has hands on experience actually delivering, in real life, nearly all of the messages that VO artists are asked to repeat: Explaining technical subjects to customers, hands on operators, management employees, and sales trainees. Giving motivating and reassuring messages to employees, owners, and partners, particularly when there is trouble. Delivering talks on management subjects and public policy to informed audiences (see demo). This background gives Jurgen the confidence and authority to deliver clients' messages the way they want them delivered.
Finally, Jurgen was born in Germany, and came to this country at the age of 16. He speaks English with a very slight accent, that is called "New England" by people who do not know him, and "German" by people who know he was born in that country. Either way, he sounds authoritative, confident, classy, educated, and convincing, either in English or in German.
