STEVE FREEDMAN

I have been a go to voice for brand videos and brand anthems for companies like Oral-B, Nokia, Chevrolet and many others. Much in the same way Tim Allen embodies the soul of “Pure Michigan”, my talents have been used to inspire trust and confidence in a plain spoken , relatable way with few words.

About My Voice: I have been told that my voice is “ageless”. While that may not be true for every application, I have been cast across a wide age spectrum. Everything from a young male in his 20’s to a grandfather in his 70’s. I probably fit most squarely into the category of male 40’s or 30-55. My conversational , smooth , deep to mid-range voice tone / timbre has been associated with actors like John Hamm , George Clooney , John Krasinski , Morgan Freeman , Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper. I have also been compared to Jeff Bridges and Sam Elliot when I add some low-end “gravel” to a read and even to Denis Leary. I’ve actually had people ask if I was the Walgreen’s voice “at the corner of happy and healthy”. I wasn’t, but John Corbett and I do sound very similar.
