Alan Safier has a mid-range, decidedly non-announcery voice -- warm and compassionate, trustworthy and authoritative, friendly and approachable, sincere, empathetic and intelligent, believable and likable. Particularly good at talking directly to the listener, one-on-one. Age range: early 40s- late 50s. A definite texture to the voice.
Very funny, great with dialogue, and able to do a lot of dialects and character voices. Lots of Guy-Next-Door types, Dads, Husbands, Bosses. Also does a lot of health care spots -- his voice has that reassuring feeling to it.
He's also a trained singer, and has performed principal roles in over 25 musicals. Safier's vocal range is bari-tenor, and he's put his singing skills to use on many spots.
Dialects include (but are not limited to): New York, Brooklyn, American Southern, American Midwest, Standard British, Cockney, French, Italian, Indian, Irish, Russian, German, Hungarian and Yiddish.
He has been touring the US in the one-man show "Say Goodnight Gracie" as George Burns for the past eight years and tours with "Humbug!", his one-man musical version of "A Christmas Carol" during the holidays.
