I would like to share some reasons against using Mike from Accounting for your project…even though everyone always says he has a great voice, and despite the fact that he has a usb mic and a cool recording app on his phone.

• Valuing Your Brand – The most important thing to consider is the impact that a professional production will have on your brand identity. When you invest in your business, it’s for the benefit of your company— signaling to your customers that you value quality. By hiring a professional voice talent like me, at professional wages, you elevate your project and product to a new level. 
• Experience – I am a professional with decades of experience. I will be here years from now to keep your branding consistent with the same voice. I also can do pickups for your project if details change later on, so you won’t have to start from scratch.
• Industry Knowledge – I understand how the components of a voiceover project work and what is expected of the voice talent, including sensitivity to the needs of all the players in the process, such as the client, production company, ad agency, director, producer, writer, video editor and audio engineer.
• Professional Studio – I own and maintain a professional quality personal studio, thus saving you additional studio fees and avoiding scheduling difficulties. And if someone got the date of your event wrong or told you the wrong pronunciation for someone’s name, you won’t have to wait to schedule another visit to an expensive external studio–delaying your project and increasing your costs.
• Trained Actor -I understand how to deliver an authentic performance in front of a microphone (as opposed to on stage or in front of a camera), and am able to interpret your script in the context of its intended audience and medium in which it will be heard.
• Trained Editor – A voiceover artist is also a skilled technical audio engineer, ensuring professional quality recordings of your script.
• Readily Available – I am a full time professional voice talent, and am able to quickly turn around your projects, readily accommodating your schedule. You won’t need to wait for me to get off my 9-5…because this is my “7-9!”
• Commitment – A professional stays abreast of trends in the industry, from varying styles of vocal performance to the latest technologies for recording live with clients around the globe.
