You need a voice for your next project. But not just any voice.
You worked hard crafting that copy. Your message is too important; you can't afford for listeners to get bored, zoned out or distracted.
You must connect to your audience. But how? With empathy. Nuance. Credibility. Authenticity. Authority.
For that you'll need someone who's been around the block a few times -- a guy who's seen and done some things.
I bring decades of varied experience, including:
- live on-air broadcasting at a legendary Texas news/talk radio station (producer, news anchor and reporter)
- extensive B2B and B2C sales
- market research and analysis
- freelance writing for business publications
- customer and client service
- co-founding and serving on the board of an independent non-profit advocacy group
My career has intersected a wide range of industries and professions, including health care, law, politics and government, commercial and residential real estate, technology, higher education, charitable organizations and non-profits.
I've also encountered folks from every walk of life -- from big cities to rural America, from Fortune 500 conference rooms to modest mom and pop shops, from the rarified air of the academic, corporate and cultural elite to the drudgery of the working-class everyman. I've been there and lived it.
I'll draw from a colorful palette of people, places and experiences to infuse your project with a real-world sensibility. . . that, and a deep, rich natural baritone, honed from years of on-air work and ongoing training with the best voiceover coaches in the business.
So, what's YOUR story? May I help you tell it?

Formação
I'm proud to be a long-time and ongoing student of Joyce Castellanos, one of the leading coaches of voice talent in the United States.
Also a member of the Global Voice Acting Academy (GVAA) and World Voices (WOVO).
Extensive on-air experience in live radio broadcasting, as a news anchor and reporter for a leading news/talk station in Texas. Also well-versed in writing tight copy for radio, print and web (business publications), call centers, non-profits and more. I believe coming at a script with the benefit of a writer's mind helps me better grasp phrasing and nuance, as well as direction from a client.
Experiência
My first project right out of the gate as a new talent was voicing an in-house video for the oncology unit of pharma giant Novartis, which was played at one of the company's major conferences in New York City.

If desired, I can assist with copy writing and editing.
Oh yeah, and I love to write about stuff -- such as topics related to the voiceover profession and related issues. Check out my blog at www.gregjamesvoiceovers.com
