It's not just what you say, it's how you say it...really.

I’ve been working with voiceovers and communication ever since university - let’s just say “a while”! When it comes to my work with voiceovers, I came in through the back door. I went to school to study music (Opera) and became friends with a couple guys in the school of broadcasting. They asked me if I would mind reading a promo for the radio station on campus… that’s where it all started. Next thing I knew, I was hosting a weekly radio show for our university station. I had no clue what I was doing, but it was a lot of fun!

It was the start of my passion for communication.  My dad once told me, “Get a job doing something you love and you'll never work a day in your life.” Maybe your dad said that to you too? Well, that's partially true. Truth be told, sometimes the hours are long, but in the end it's extremely satisfying to be part of a creative process that has the ability to change people’s lives and strengthen businesses.

Over the years, I’ve done thousands and thousands of presentations, ads, film trailers… you name it. I’ve been the voice for a number of radio stations and an international tv network for 10 years with over 7000 film trailers in the can!

In addition to voiceovers, I have the privilege of working with a number of international advertising agencies as a copywriter and as a presentation coach to executives who want to say things “right” to their stakeholders.

Now, I just finished remodeling my studio and honestly, I think it sounds better than ever! I have a number of different mics on hand, a vintage Neumann U87 from the early 70’s and the complete range of the revolutionary Ehrlund microphones. Voiceovers from the mics go through a Universal Audio interface and then into ProTools for editing.

On most jobs I offer same-day delivery, because... as you know... producers want it yesterday! 

So, I hope we have a chance to work together soon. I’m just a phone call away and rates are cheap… I’d love to speak with you. Tell me about your project and we’ll find a way to make it work using Skype or Source Connect if you want to direct me. Or… just send me the script and I'll mail you the clean audio file. 

I wish you a truly wonderful day…  Monte
