VoiceOver Services/Products 

As a Voice Talent, Adam has various "Niche areas"

1) My "Global" sound.

This is a completely international voice, which I can "lean" in any accent direction.. to make it , for example, slightly American, slightly Australian ,etc, toward any of the accents below in #2, or others on request.

Here is an example of this kind of read, and it is common for clients who have worldwide interests such as Deloitte, as well as for international E-learning/training clients.

(For example, I currently do a lot of the VO work for Shell in Texas in this accent, for international use, among others...:

I do a lot of international work as US clients such as Coke, Deloitte, HP, Microsoft, Sony and many more, prefer my voice and sound as it is truly global.

2) Accents :

I work in many accents/dialects in English  for both serious and character VO work, among these "that I can nail"  are:

South African, African( Pan -African,and others) , N.American, Brit(various), Middle Eastern,(Arabic, Egyptian, Israeli) - for CNN and others, Spanish, French, Italian, Scottish, East Indian,Caribbean, Austrian, German, E.European (perfect match forBorat), Japanese, Chinese, Cajun, Irish and many more .

 I also work in North American voices, both American and Canadian.

I am one of the the main middle eastern voice person for CNN's documentaries , and recently did 14 different characters for their "God's Warriors" Mini-series.

3) Trailer, promo, Stylized reads:

This is where I do a lot of my North American accent work, as it is a stylized type of read required, again I will send samples from my other email. I also do a lot of animation type voices in this style - samples of this will also be sent. I am now specializing in doing "American -style" trailer and promo reads in other ethnic accents, for specialty channels and ethnic films for the North American and Wold markets.

Samples available.

Voice producing:

Adam is also a Voice producer in addition to being a Voice talent,

Adam's role of International Voice Producer, is  to provide much needed North American voices to foreign animated productions, and other voices who are experienced in feature film level voice acting. Many of these will be done from cost-effective Canada , as well as some celebrity talents from Los Angeles.

Working electronically is typical today in the world of voiceover, with clients patching in with talent from different parts of the world . The advantage of using an established voice group - is that they are people who have worked together a lot- have a natural synergy , and many years of experience voicing well-known animated characters. They will also all be in one room and be able to play off each other for dramatic advantage - and the technology today makes it very easy and cost -effective to work with a director remotely if need be.
