Hey, it's Blake!
If you're here, you probably are interested in my skills. I provide exceptional direction for your project, casting services to find the perfect actors, voice acting for commercial and character projects, audio production for the perfect sound, and music composition to offer a signature sound so you'll stand out! But before that, about me!
I am a U.S. Army Veteran (SSG - Air Traffic Controller) and a commercial fixed-wing aviator, holding a commercial pilot's license with an instrument rating! I love to create, that is my most exciting hobby! In my free time, I am a local DJ & Music Producer and thoroughly enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife, Hannah.
*I create SOUNDS with both an Electronic Dance and sound engineering in Ableton Live!
*I create OPPORTUNITIES being the one-size-fits-all candidate for indie project success!
*I create CHARACTERS, maps, and stories as a Dungeon Master for the tabletop RPG Dungeons & Dragons (5th edition for those interested)!
*I create MOTIVATION by being the optimist and presenting realistic solutions to critical thinking challenges!
*And, most importantly, I help create YOUR projects!
What to expect when you hire me:
-You will experience a willingness to teach, share, and apply wisdom acquired in the industry.
-You will have security knowing that your project will be completed!
-You will enjoy watching as tasks surpass your expectations upon completion.
-You will expect flexibility with last second changes and adaptation to your project's needs.
-You will not worry about constructive criticism being taken negatively.
-You will rest easy knowing the job will get done in a timely, professional and concise manner!
-You will get that quality sound you're looking for in an artist's recordings not just in voice, but for your whole project.
-You can count on me for future projects.
If you ever want to chat about a project, let me know! You can reach me the quickest by emailing me (email in commercial demo link!) or simply DM me here and I'll get to you in a timely manner!
I hold a Bachelor's degree in General Studies with an emphasis in commercial voiceover. This included classical singing training, musical application, acting, radio work, aural training, audition/direction techniques, and much more!
I currently hold a Commercial Single-Engine Land certificate with an instrument rating. I'm working on a high-performance endorsement as well! Lastly, I am awaiting travel to the CFI academy where I will become a flight instructor and receive multi-engine training!
The only real reason this is here outside of you learning more about me is aviation roles. Need a pilot? Controller? I'll help you polish that lingo so it's believable!
I have had extensive training from many amazing people in the industry, and to summarize it in short, each challenged me in one way or another while providing special insights on how to succeed and thrive in the voiceover industry.
I have had many professional development opportunities through the military, and it will show in my work. I love to share these insights and offer constructive criticism when necessary and continue to also have a humble mindset towards growth at all times. Pathfinder is one of the most difficult Army courses out there with a greater than 50% washout rate.
My services are not free; however, my rates are on a case-by-case basis dependent on length of project and workload. If you are interested in working with me on a project, you can visit my website at https://www.blakebartholomae.com and submitting a contact form to schedule a free consultation!
Motivated and dedicated project creators with a drive for success and an open mind to what that entails. I want to bridge the gap from "I have an idea but am not sure what to do" and "Wow, my idea just came to life". If that's what you're after and you want to step into that next step, schedule a consultation with me at https://www.blakebartholomae.com by shooting me an email in the contact form!

Blake does amazing work! His turnaround time was less than 24 hours and his pricing was very reasonable. He asked a lot of questions and sent me 4 takes with different emphasis on words. It was a delight to work with him and we will definitely work with him again!

Blake came in as a last-minute recast and was phenomenal. He responded professionally and quickly, and worked well with the director's comments. He also brought a lot of himself into the character, which really improved the final product. Plan on working with him again.

Immortal Grim was an ambitious project, and Blake B was the heartbeat that made it thrive. From casting and script revisions to direction, audio production, and composition, Blake poured over 100+ hours into bringing this vision to life. His unwavering dedication, expertise, and creative leadership ensured that the production exceeded expectations and made its mark at the music festival. Blake’s ability to wear multiple hats, from project director, lead actor (with a costar in tandem, demonstrating perfect synergy in collaborative environments), audio engineer, music composer, and casting agent. He surpassed our expectations and was nothing short of extraordinary.
A true professional and an irreplaceable force behind Immortal Grim’s success.
