Joseph Ovard, voice actor

I'm a professional voice actor with a top quality, in-home recording studio, and I produce profesional qulaity audio. I have a pleasant, conversational voice, that commands attention with a quiet and dignified authority. I perform character voices with a dynamic range, and can bring life to your animation or video game characters. I've been featured on educational software that is used around the world. I've also played character voices for training videos with Allied Video Production in the Portland, Oregon area. My voice has been described as friendly, genuine, authentic, believable, guy next door, high energy, soft sell, hard sell, sincere, cool, hip, corporate, business like, relatable, sophisticated, knowledgeable, promo, urgent, and educational. ​ I'm consistently cast for a wide range of age requirements . . . male 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's (25-54). My style could be closely compared to John Krazinski, Tim Allen, Kevin Bacon, and Jeff Bridges. ​ I live in the Mountain West, about 1.5 hours from Yellowstone National Park, and run on Mountain Standard Time. However, I'm happy to adjust my hours to work within your schedule. ​ PERFORMANCE CAPABILITES Believable is the first word that comes to my client’s minds when describing my voice. Trustworthy, Sincere, Authoritative, Friendly, Fresh, Powerful, Energetic, and Relatable are also accurate adjectives. Whether your need is a voice over for a commercial, white-board animation, corporate narration, video, e-learning, explainer video, training video, internet video, tv project, educational script, IVR prompts, on-hold message, tutorial, direct response ad (DR), talking toy, gps, medical, technical, legal, mobile app (android or ios), radio imaging, or high powered promo . . . I can deliver. BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY I believe in treating clients like partners. Working with me should be as easy as if we were working together in the same office. Communication is frequent, consistent, and my work is completed promptly (often same day) so you never have to guess the progress of your project or worry if it will be completed on time. ​ STUDIO AND AUDIO EQUIPMENT Voice over is more than a great read. As my client, you can expect high quality, pristine audio. All of my voice overs are recorded in my ultra-quiet, acoustically treated sound booth, using a top quality microphone so you can expect a world class sound. I'm equipped and ready for a live recording session, and I've been told frequently by my clients that I take direction exceptionally well.
