Tom’s voice has been described as “salt of the earth” confident, conversational, authentic, burly and tough, as well as smooth and sexy (by the old gal next door). He can also be enthusiastic and passionate as well as engaging and sincere. His voice lends itself well to rugged, real-to-life, and genuine messages. A rich, gravely smooth texture that instills truth and trust, made for anything outdoors. From narrating fly fishing videos, voicing outdoor clothing ads, to being a local builder telling his story, and yes, he does Southern as well as Texan, or Sam Elliott-esk voice. He has been a Certified Fly Casting Instructor for more than 15 years as well as a fly fishing guide. So, he also lives the outdoors.
Tom believes good storytelling doesn’t evolve from the years one has been on this earth, but it is born in the retelling of the experiences one has lived through on that journey. It’s not the years, it’s the mileage….
Formation
Tom started doing voices before the digital revolution. His first gig was voicing executives for multi projector corporate slide shows, yes carousels. He continued to do voice work, on the edges, and found his groove voicing Fly Fishing Training and promotional videos. Tom started and learned before the proliferation of online coaches . He learned by doing.
