Basics
on this guy
I can
honestly say that for the past 15+ years I have been doing what I enjoy
- recording Voice-overs
for Commercials and
Corporate Videos as well as for Movie
Trailers, Promos, Educational Toys, Celebrity Voice
Matching projects, Cartoons, and Feature Films.
Why choose this guy?
Some
may ask "So why should I choose
thisguy?" That's a valid
question...
Is it because he keeps a cool yellow rubber ducky on his computer monitor?"
One might certainly think
that would be reason enough, however, in case you should need additional
incentives:
Flexible
range:
Conversational/Real,
Hip, Deep-Driving, commercials and Corporate
Narration / Driving Promos & Movie Trailers (ala Don La
Fontaine)/ Characters /
Announcer reads / Non-Announcer-Announcer /CTA (Call To Action)
/ Celebrity Impressions.
Can take direction well
and move with it
Can perform in a very
real/conversational style when desired.
Will work to deliver
what's needed and wanted and on time (many times within 24 hours)
Excellent
Mic & Booth etc. (Hey
Mom ... No Bathroom Echo!)
"One thing I
often hear from folks is that use
of my services is generally fun, quick and
painless ... who knows; maybe I should practice oral care on the side!"
Can adjust speed to fit
copy as required
High-speed Internet
file transfer capability (MP3, WAV, AIFF etc. uploaded to my site or
yours for download).
Great to work with! (Ok,
somebody else said that...)

Bottom line - Works to get it
right!

We
have available ISDN
(Which stands for "Integrated
Services Digital Network") which, if you're new to this
technology, [Think sound effects heard on some classic cartoon of this
amazing complex scientific type machine spitting out something basically simple at
the end like a paper plate]
allows one to transmit data -- including audio content such as a voice-over
session -- to
another ISDN equipped location (for instance, a recording studio) anywhere in the world!
[Here you can think
of that film you might have watched in junior high school entitled "The
Wonders of Industry- throughout the World" with that wobbly picture of the
globe spinning around.]
Testimonials
Here are some recent comments about the work &
the studio:
Great stuff -- thanks particularly for the additional choices on certain key words and phrases.
I get so much stuff back from people who are very good VO artists but who have no idea what the actual post-production process is like. Little things like that help a lot.
Steve Bradford -- Steve Bradford Creative Services
"Thanks
again, Ari, very smooth working relationship and you gave me exactly what I
wanted, exceeding the (heck) out of my expectations!"
Dave
Welsh -- VP Production/Partner Rev Media
"We
recently worked with Ari and his studio to lay down a major National TV spot. As
well as being a true professional and doing a great job on the V/O, his sound
quality was excellent -- no echo, great mic, good sound all around -- comparable
to or better than many studios out there."
Frank Salazar - Reel FX - Dallas TX
“Frankly,
I have never used voice talent before, and so I was expecting a bumpy ride. But
Ari cranked his files out with great turnaround time and not a single hitch in
site. Now I’m looking through all my marketing touch points to see if I
can’t figure out a way to use more voice talent—and it’ll be Ari.”

Wade

"We recently used Ari on a project to record voices for a large
number of different
characters and all were perfect. On another occasion we used him on a project
for (a large, well known company) utilizing a script containing numerous scientific terms which he voiced naturally,
doing this as if he really knew well what he was talking about! Ari is fun to work with,a
consummate professional and is a great talent. His versatility and
professionalism are the reason we like to work with him whenever we
can."
Dan Brockett - Big Little Films
"After we ended our ISDN connection today my associate said to me
"that sounded REALLY good." Your audio quality and lack of any
acoustical coloration was better than some of the big NY and LA studios we've
patched into. Your Mic is also excellent... Your high end was clean and bright
without being 'essy', the bottom end of the audio was full and very smooth. I
look forward to our next connection!"
