@narratedbyhydeRe-Emerging Voice Talent | Voices in My Head, Career in the Booth: Character Acting with a Side of Whale.
I'm new to voice acting and pursuing it as a midlife career change (Not midlife crisis. I already had that and the car payments to prove it). I have experience in acting and radio, and I even took a voice acting class back in the late '80s. And no, I didn't ride my dinosaur to it. I drove a pimped out Pinto like everyone else. After years of hearing that I have a great voice, I'm excited to explore opportunities in animation, video games, and audiobooks. I need to make money off the voices in my head - might as well turn them into a career.
I also speak whale.
My rates are like a flexible superhero—they can stretch to fit your project’s needs. If you have a story that needs a voice, I’m open to a negotiation that keeps us both happy (and fed).
I’m here because I’ve realized that being paid to talk is far better than being told to 'please be quiet' for free.
What I’m looking for: I bring a mature, resonant vocal range (40s–60s). I’m looking for roles that need weight—think the noble, square-jawed hero who’s seen it all or the grumpy-but-lovable mentor who’s tired of explaining the prophecy. I have a huge soft spot for cartoons and animation. Whether you need a booming 'Voice of God' or a high-energy comedic sidekick who’s lost his glasses, I’m your guy.
My Goal: To be the voice you can't stop listening to (even at 2x speed). I joined CCC to connect with creators who need a narrator who brings decades of life experience to the booth but still remembers how to play.
