Official version: Mellifluous basso Mellow, friendly and warm. Imagine your neighbor is an actor, storyteller and a great conversationalist, "the guy with that neat voice," one of those curious-and-creative types who is always asking questions. He's smart and fun. And he talks in the most sincere way, as he really wants to know what's going on in your life. And you listen carefully, willingly, enthusiastically, because you trust him - he's sincere, compassionate and empathetic. Authentic. Real down-to-Earth. He really cares about you and what you think, like a best friend and a good neighbor. He respects you and that feels good. Key words: Friendly male voice with a bit of energy and celebrity tone. Relaxed and casual, never "announcer-y," authoritative but never pushy, authentic, inviting, and always confident, passionate and enthusiastic. Hints of Hal Riney at his peak; Clint Eastwood (breathy-to-growling); a raspy, attitude heavy Dennis Leary; Peter Jennings; James Earl Jones, Lee Marvin, Don La Fontaine (with all due respect); Charles Kuralt; and shades of Mike Rowe doing his dirty job! Always confident, seasoned, weathered, possibly raspy. "The old pro" type. Get with it. Make the move, the decision, the RIGHT choice. Smooth, sincere and, yes, "the quiet storm" sexy; friendly, authoritative and honest; a storyteller with heart and soul.
