Mick Lager

Crocker, Missouri, US

Highlights

My signature and character voices are the perfect combination of clarity of speech, enunciation of even the most difficult words, and projection with consistent professional high quality. I have over 20 years experience in the Retail Pharmacy Industry, designing and developing eLearning applications for a huge audience of over 120,000 associates. To date I've been the senior developer of over 700 courses. Not just voice, but every aspect of the multimedia process from planning, managing, designing, developing, testing, implementation, and analysis. I am looking to specialize in voice however, which brings me to Voices.com and you.

I am beyond professional. You can trust that I will promptly respond to any inquiry and happily record take after take until you are completely satisfied. Typically, I will initially provide a few takes with a good variation of voice until we narrow down the specific voice you need. Beyond voice, I can design sound effects, create music, editing and special effects. Technically, I use the 44,100 Hz and 32 bit audio quality standard, but can provide you with any quality and format you need.

My skillset is very broad and I learn exceptionally quickly and am a very highly skilled professional just looking to make a break in the industry on my own as a freelancer. I may be new to Voices.com, but not to this kind of work. However, since I am new to Voices.com and looking forward to working hard to earn a 5-star review and get my name out there, you can expect a lower than average bid/fee for your projects.

Take advantage of a high quality professional for a fraction of the price while you still can. Please favorite me, contact me, make an offer. I guarantee to deliver the result you're after. So, let's do it!

Experience

Well over 20 years of creative professional experience in the Retail Pharmacy Industry designing and developing over 700 eLearning courses (CBTs) for an audience of over 120,000 associates and over 5,000 endpoints.

My experience and skillset are very broad from not only exceptionally high quality voice-over work, (Including recording, editing, music, sound effects, etc.), but the entire way through each project for storyboards and instructional designs, eLearning interfaces, logic development, graphic design, illustration, animation, quizzes, grammar checking, copy creation, advertising... the list goes on and on.

If you're at the point in your project where additional help is needed, without a doubt, I have the solution.

My projects have included HIPAA, Fraud Waste and Abuse, Western Union, Prescription Processing, New System Help, Interactive Gamification, Focus Groups, Customer Service, Advertising, you name it. If it's related to Retail, Wholesale, Pharmacy, Customer Service, Information Technology, or any kind of Design, I've been all up in it.

I'm very interested in variety and looking to expand my experience to include more fun things: entertainment, TV, radio, etc. But, can always handle the usual smooth confident tone necessary for corporate, informational videos and more of the basics as well.

With superior control of my voice I can tweak for the nuances necessary for your project to stand out from the rest. My signature voice is my own day-to-day voice with extra focus on enunciation, projection, and timing. I sound very much like the "How It's Made" narrator. I'm not stuck in that style however and can reach a very wide range of pitch and tone and specific characteristics necessary for many age ranges. I can be dull, plain, energetic, emotional, to way over the top. Whatever you need, I'm sure I can deliver.

Throughout my life I've been complimented on my voice and quite often people are surprised when they see me due the mental image they get while listening. (I'm a Metallica's James Hetfield doppelganger.)

In my early years I worked as a Customer Service Representative taking hundreds of calls a day. Always confident in my skills, I was very successful practicing my vocal talents and controlling the conversation. Very often complimented on my smooth tone and clarity.

Throughout my life I've always built happiness in children through laughter by changing my voice to imitate anything from animal sounds to cartoon characters to famous celebrities. Once they hear my voice and humor they are hooked and always request more, laugh and laugh for hours.

More recently I'm working on creative projects that not only include voice but graphic design, illustration, animation, etc. My skillset is very broad in all types of media.

Right now though, it's all about Voices.com and working hard to earn the best rating I can and get the most fun jobs available.

I very much look forward to working with you and seeing what challenges you will bring to the table. Let's have some fun!

Testimonials

Mick is a model employee. I wish I could clone him! His work ethic is outstanding and quality of work never disappoints. He has rightfully earned an Outstanding evaluation year after year and positive feedback from all our Business Partners. Mick's massive talent and huge body of work is a valued asset to Rite Aid. Mick, best of luck on your next adventure!

Rite Aid

Thank you for all your absolutely fantastic work over these two years. You've been an incredible asset to our teams and our customers. We are so sorry to see you go, but wish you all the best moving forward. Remember that lady? You spent over three hours working with her on the phone after your scheduled shift ended. I do, because I was listening in for Quality Control. You calmly took a very irate customer through her entire story and turned that very bad situation into a total success. That's consistent with all your work and why we used you to mentor the others and why you deserved the Supervisor title. We all here are wishing you the best and I have no doubt you'll be successful in everything you do.
