I started my career in radio and television more than 30 years ago.

During my career I was a morning drive time talent in two of the largest markets in the United States.  Atlanta and Washington DC.  I was the "sidekick", the funny guy and usually worked with a partner.  My expertise was coming up with quick comebacks, and or what is referred to as zingers.  

When I first started I honed my writing skills and broadcast skills on newscasts.  Since I was always an excellent reader, most managers would assign me to the newsroom.  

I noticed that newscasters never made very good salaries and that the DJ's were the ones that made the big money!  So right I away I realized that if I didn't write and deliver my news different than all of my competition, then I'd never make enough money to feed my family.

All of my newscasts were labeled "news and commentary"  because I was always adding my own opinions.  Now keep in mind this was way before talk radio.  The newscasts were required by the FCC for stations to comply with making sure the public/listeners were informed of the news of the day.  

Newscasts were not placed in top 40 radio (which is where I began my career) because management thought it would be a good idea. They were required.  So I figured that I would really have to deliver a compelling newscast to keep the listener's attention and to make sure they didn't switch to another station.  And that's what I did.  

I delivered newscasts, became a morning show sidekick, and voiced thousands of commercials for clients all over the United States.  

In August 2006 I launched my voice over site online and since that time I've produced audio books, self help audio books, website video introductions, instructional audios, and more.

Browse around and listen to some demos and read some testemonials too.

What can I say, except that Scott did an absolutely fantastic job!

In the audio he created for one of my websites, his voice is like melted butter in all the right places.

Who can resist?

And the delivery was oh-so-super fast. If only all of life from idea to request to satisfaction transpired so quickly.

Interestingly enough, Scott made me think of my salesletters in a way I may not have without his sweet offer.

As a marketer, I know that a certain percentage of my customers aremore inclined to respond favorably to a male "authoritarian" figurethan that of a female. And while I haven't given it a tremendous amountof thought--or tested it (yet)--it's possible that better results canbe had when the "voice" that is heard in the marketing messages is acombination of both male and female.

Certainly worth considering.

From my own perspective, the macho male marketing that predominates thebroad niche of internet marketing (aka "make money online") can bequite tiresome.

Sensitive females such as myself grow weary of the constant,overly-aggressive themes that suggest it's a good thing to "kill,""crush," "destroy," "annihilate," "vaporize," etc., the competition. Itcan also be a complete turnoff to many of my gender.

Does that kind of marketing grab attention and create drama in the mindof the reader? Without a doubt. Is it overly hyped and blatantly gearedtoward the male? Absolutely! And there's no doubt it works on manyfemales too.

But, again, there are definitely those who it rubs the wrong way, bothmale and female (though I would venture to say more of the latter).

So what would happen if the hard edge of the male voice was softened bya female in the same sales message? Or if the sensitive female point ofview was toughened up a bit with the insertion of a male persona?

Truth is, I don't know. Never tried it before in a salesletter.

But thanks to Scott, I'm about to give it a go.

And while a "butter voice" may not attract or convince most of thosehigh-energy, testosterone-driven males, it may just push over the edgethe ones who need that "validation" that only a man can give anotherman.

Or maybe I'm reading too much into this.

Hahaha!

Regardless, I thank you Scott, for your excellent work!

And I encourage my fellow Warriors to take advantage of the servicesScott provides. Check out his website to hear the many voices he'scapable of creating. No doubt you'll be awed by the diversity and scopeof his talent.

Put the man to work for you (while his prices are still reasonable)!

Thanks again, Scott! Your work is very much appreciated here.

Outstanding work, Scott...

Faster than a speeding bullet and nailed my brief to a TEE.

Thanks again, man.

You do, in fact, completely ROCK!

WARRIORS - Scott is by far the fastest VO talent I've
ever worked with and I've worked with MANY.

If you've been wanting an absolutely PROFESSIONAL
voiceover or audio production for your website,
video, or marketing materials... do not hesitate.

Simply pay him whatever he's asking... I'm planning
on billing this guy out for a minimum of 3 TIMES his
current book rate (and paying him twice as much)

Heh heh... just kidding (not really).

Seriously... He's a BAD-ASS and your production will
shine.
