About Kevin Barbare

I have a very wide range of announcer/Narration, character and celebrity impression voices. All backed by my 30 years experience in morning radio comedy writing, performing, and production. Previous work in both copywriting and acting enhance my ability to interpret and perform any copy to your satisfaction. I've been used as substitutes for famous voices in projects, as well as popular brands in television, radio, and beyond.
My background experience also includes writing and singing song parodies as well, whether in a recognizable artists voice (Sinatra, Elton, Bowie..etc) or natural. Some of these were released on CD before digital online availability made them more accessible.
I have a dedicated room in my home to voiceover, acting, and production including a collection of vintage and modern synthesizers and vinyl.

Voice Over Testimonials

The final piece went above and beyond what I had in mind, thanks to Kevin adding his own touches, and was delivered well ahead of the deadline.
A phenomenal artist and a pleasure to work with.

While we were seeking individual talent to voice each of our characters, Kevin came in and stole the show and ended up voicing pretty much all of our characters. And no one's going to know its all Kevin! And best of all he was a pleasure to work with and brought life to all of our characters.
