Hello! My name is Kyle Shive and it would be a pleasure to work with you. I'm a full-time, trained, pro voice over artist with various projects under my belt ranging from commercials and narration to video game characters!
My tech equipment and studio environment are professional. I have insanely great acoustics and an incredibly low noise floor of -74db before any EQ or editing and I use no noise gate. This and all of my audio equipment have been rated and verified as broadcast quality by George Whittam.
I use a Scarlett Solo Focusrite audio interface, an AKG C214 diaphragm mic, and Adobe Audition for my DAW.
I can record:
- Commercials
- eLearning/Training narration
- Intro/Outro for Podcasts
- Web-Videos
- Corporate Narration/Presentations
- Video game characters
Anything that needs to be voiced!
My voice can be described as kind, guy next door, warm, sincere, authoritative when needed, professional, and intelligent.
My vocal register best represents a Lyric Baritone. Which is like a high baritone or a low tenor. My voice has been described as crisp, modern, friendly, fun-to-be-with, and savvy.
I have been told I have a crisp, bright tone that as it goes lower gets a nice vocal fry pretty quick.
Make the decision and choose superior audio quality, high responsiveness, and fast delivery time with me, your new personal professional voice actor and friend!

Specifieke vaardigheden
I have taken audio-engineering courses that have allowed me to learn my way around editing and post production for audio regarding voice over work. I have stacks in adobe audition that I apply when I audition for work, and send in completed work, to my clients that they are always pleased with. I am familiar with izotopes and waves plugins as well.
