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 this guy?"  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.

• Can stream a V/O session live via ISDN 

• 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!

Bookings & general contact info

What the heck is ISDN? 

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 L, San Francisco, CA

"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!"

John Valentine - Audio-Image Recording
