Voice Acting

Giving Your Words a Fresh Voice

Whether you’re looking for video narration, voice over for TV or radio commercials, character voices, or a great audiobook interpretation of your published work, I’m your guy. I bring a fresh, energetic sound for those projects that require a fun, friendly, dad- or husband-next-door sound, plus the ability to provide character voices based on your needs. I’m local to the Philadelphia metro area for on-site studio work and have home recording capability for the rest of the planet.

A graduate of Voice Box LLC‘s intensive voice over training program, I bring a fresh sound, high energy and more than 30 years of stage acting experience to your project. Plus, my work onstage and as a novelist and professional freelance copywriter means I interpret your scripts, commercial copy and manuscripts with ease.

Best of all, I’m a relaxed, confident and easy-to-direct performer who brings professionalism and a commitment to quality work to your project.

Client: Delaware Today magazine
Job: Delaware Today Best of Delaware 2020
Venue: Website, social media
Description: With the planned Delaware Today 2020 party cancelled as a result of COVID-19, the magazine needed a way to honor its Best of Delaware winners without in-person festivities. As a member of the editorial team I participated in a series of videos highlighting our winners, hosting segments, conducting on-screen interviews and providing video and sound production support.

Venue: Football stadium scoreboard, website, social media
Description: Client contacted me on a Thursday and was on a tight deadline, with the video portion of the 30-second ad completed but with no VO, and with ad due to be shown during a season-opener high school football game the following evening. I received the script the next morning (Friday) and provided three takes with edits by 12:30 p.m., with delivery via email. The video was ready for presentation by game time.
Client Feedback: “Scott was the perfect choice for my campaign video. Controlled, clear, and energetic, Scott’s voice projected the right amount of confidence and enthusiasm my message needed. Scott was very accommodating, turning around the product very quickly and very professionally.”
