My versatility enables me to smoothly transition between roles requiring an urban contemporary voice to those that specify a Middle American sound. I can voice professional corporate needs or be relaxed and display humor when it’s called for. I've been told my voice has some resemblance to that of Barack Obama.
Being raised by immigrant parents my home was filled with influences of Latin America and the Caribbean. While I don’t speak Spanish fluently I am able to read Spanish copy. I’m also able to do an “Island Dialect”: West Indian, Caribbean, Jamaican.
I can effortlessly move through my various styles; turning them on and off like a faucet! When versatility is required, look no further. Reach out to me today!
My voice has been selected for medical and technical narrations, political commercials, corporate videos, commercial products and services and tv & radio promotions.
Feedback from clients have noted my dependability, flexibility and ease to work with. Please see a few comments below:
Horatio Baltz Visual Designer at Company Confidential
Cecil is not only an invaluable talent, but he is also very easy to work with and maintains a level of professionalism and reliability far too scarce in his line of work. I used Cecil's unique voice narration for a creative project. He took the time to fully understand my concerns, references, and creative direction. He made sure to address my edits in a timely fashion, and I was more than happy with the results and grateful for such a smooth experience.

Very professional, on-time and a pleasure to work with! Will definitely get your services again :)

Cecil did voiceovers to support the branding campaign for the City of Lee's Summit, MO. He did a great job, offering different types of reads in a very timely manner. The stakeholders here at the City were very impressed with his work.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
My voice has been a part of a number of corporate marketing strategies. Businesses have chosen my voice for new product launches, product line re-introductions, promotional videos and public service announcements.
I was most recently chosen to be the voice of The Columbus Dispatch. A regional news organization whose re-branding efforts included a variety of television and radio spots.
I've also been selected by pharmaceutical leader Johnson & Johnson to narrate Public Service Announcements. These animated videos discussed the important subject of prostate cancer.
