J. Michael Collins is a talented and hugely successful voice actor – but he’s also an outstanding coach and demo producer. I first participated in a workshop of his this past June in Vegas and I was struck by how well the practice copy was written. Humor can be a tricky thing to write and he does it really well. So when I wanted to update my commercial demo, I reached out to him. At the session, we did both a commercial demo and a political demo, since I’ve been doing some of that work lately. I’m really happy with how both of them turned out. Have a listen, if you’re so inclined. (You can also hear them on the player on the main page of my site.) Thanks, J. Michael!

Voice Over Project for Schlage
I really enjoy bringing my clients’ visions to life. The beautiful cinematography in this commercial was nicely offset by Schlage’s super classy door hardware. They’re a leading manufacturer of door hardware solutions – and you can certainly see why here! (And I love that it’s the mother of the family doing the installation. 😉 )

Voiceovers for Walker Furniture in Nevada
Doing voice overs for furniture stores is a really enjoyable aspect of my business. I love furniture. And I love the owners’ enthusiasm for their product! This particular set of commercials (this is only one of them), truly demonstrates that love since you get to see the owner discussing his business personally. I have to say that my recording sessions with these folks are some of the most pleasant (and quick!) sessions of my career. Gotta love that! Walker Furniture is the largest furniture store in Nevada – and they’re doing it right. I’m enthusiastic about helping them get their vision across to their very discerning clientele.

Commercial Voice Over For El Dorado Resort
The folks at El Dorado Spa Resorts & Hotels were after a high end, luxury type of feel for their voice. With a touch of playfulness. The recording session was fairly early in the morning at a downtown studio and I remember laughing really hard at their antics on the other end of the ISDN line. We had a great time together. They commissioned original music for these spots and I love how they turned out.
Anthemic Voice Overs For RBC Wealth Management
I love voicing anthems. This is definitely one of those. I went to a downtown Toronto studio for this one and really enjoyed working with the folks there. I remember thinking how fantastic the cinematography on this spot was – and I still think it’s wonderfully done. These guys really know what they’re doing.
Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Voice Over
The production company behind these commercials does such wonderful work that it’s always a pleasure to voice something for them. I’ve been working with them on the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital spots for some time now and I love everything they produce. Here’s just one (outstanding) example:
