With clients on his voiceover roster including Expedia, Nissan, McDonalds, Amazon, Google & Pfizer among others, he’s done some impressive commercial, narration, political spots and video games.

This bilingual italian speaker even has a video game demo IN ITALIAN!!! That’s a first for MVO.

Based in California, Joe’s voiceover sound may be light, fun, upbeat and youthful, but producers love the strength of his versatility as well as his professional recording studio set-up.

His effortless, authentic and conversational reads are a casting director’s dream for commercials, narrations , e-learning or video games.

We know you’ll love listening to and working with Joe.

In either case the weekend becomes a nice break.

But last weekend, it got was event more fun because the two voice talents, who have been friends for some years, actually got to hang out.

Peter and his family when they traveled to Atlanta, GA over the 4th weekend to visit with his family there, staying the week.

While he was there, Peter put a call out to his friend and fellow voice talent Sean Caldwell who has a summer place outside the ATL on Lake Lanier.

Their families then got together for a fun day on the water.

While he was at Sean’s place, Peter even got to record in Sean’s voiceover booth (pictured). But Peter said even though it was Sean’s booth and Sean’s microphone, he still did not sound as good as Sean.

Somebody must have adjusted the pre-sets on the equipment!

ABOUT MALE VOICE TALENT PETER K. O’CONNELL

Hi, I’m Peter and I am a voiceover talent.

That was my “short” biography.

Now, if you like, here’s the slightly longer version…

Before Madonna sang about her virginity, when making a phone call from the road meant plunking twenty five cents into a phone booth and back when getting “on-line” meant waiting to check-out at the grocery store, I began my career as a male voiceover talent and live announcer.

I am currently celebrating my 35th year as a professional male voice-over talent.

As America’s friendly, neighborhood voice-over talent, my versatile vocal skills allow me to share many voice acting styles with my clients, who range from Fortune 500 Companies to companies who think $500 is a fortune. From conversational everyman voice to hard sell straight announcer performances, my natural voice over abilities are favored by clients for commercials, narrations, e-learning, documentary, TV promo, radio imaging and live announcing.

People have told me I am a natural born storyteller. I’ve even won some awards for my voiceover work.

In my voice-over career, I have been fortunate enough to work with brands including General Electric, Kraft Foods, PBS (Public Broadcasting Service), Shell Oil, Pitney Bowes, Duracell Batteries, U.S. Army, Starz Cable Channel, Bacardi, SunSetter Awnings, Deloitte, Time Warner Cable, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Bonefish Grill, First Financial Bank, N.A., Western Union, BlueCross Blue Shield, Darien Lake Theme Park, J. Walter Thompson Advertising, Cleveland Browns of the National Football League, Harlequin Enterprises and Pathmark Supermarkets.

My voice-over recordings have been heard globally including London, England; Seoul, Korea; the Caribbean; Sydney, Australia; Toronto, Canada; Delhi, India and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Nationally across the United States, my voice has been heard in all major markets including but not limited to New York City; Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Dallas, Texas; Dayton, Ohio and Buffalo, New York.

OK you’re right, if you’re scoring at home, Dayton, Ohio and Buffalo, New York aren’t really major markets but I have spent so much time there, I felt they deserved a shout-out. A native of Buffalo, NY, I grew up in the Nickel City – I even worked in radio there at WLVL, for, like a week. I truly developed his broadcasting and voice-over skills in Dayton at WVUD-FM as a top rated disc jockey and then as a commercial producer for the station.

I produce my voice projects through my audio production company, audio’connell Voice Over Talent which is a division of O’Connell Communications, LLC. In addition to my voice over work, which represents a majority of the company’s production schedule, audio’connell also provides casting services for clients looking for professional female voiceover and audio production services for national and international clients. The voice over needs of foreign language clients are served through another O’Connell-owned company, International Voice Talents.

Yes, I am also the guy that wrote that voiceover e-book entitled The Voice Over Entrance Exam. The book examines the business and performance realities of becoming a voice-over talent and maintaining a career among a spirited field of established voiceover professionals. Sometimes, when I am feeling very “authory”, I wear an ascot around my house – it’s very obnoxious.

After years of giving away my hard earned knowledge about everything voice over, I decided I should be getting PAID for it so I started audio’connell’s Voice Over Workshop. In private one-on-one voiceover sessions in my studio or via Skype, I teach new and experienced voice talents what I’ve learned after nearly 30 years in the voice over business and critical stuff voice actors need to know to get paid voice jobs.

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio and Television Communication from the University of Dayton (OH) – no one is quite sure how – nonetheless the official diploma can be found somewhere in my Cary, North Carolina home (just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina) where I live with my wife and children.

Thank you for reading all the way to this point in this overly wordy biography but now you really need to get away from the screen and go do something more productive – even basket weaving would have been a better use of your time, as opposed to reading all the way down to here, but thanks anyway.

The longtime friends, and also both members of MVO: The Voice-Over Guys, got together on Thursday for lunch AND to celebrate Rowell’s birthday.

Peter didn’t ask how old he was because it’s impolite to ask a voice talent his or her age. It’s only important as to how old they SOUND (or how old you need them to sound)

Plus it’s great for Peter to go out with Rowell as Rowell can show him all the cool places to eat in and around Raleigh.

Happy birthday Rowell!

ABOUT ROWELL GORMON

Rowell (conveniently rhymes with “role”) Gormon is a full-time professional voiceover talent. He provides commercial voices (for TV, radio & web), narration voices and of course, character voices.

Known to many as the “Man of 999 1/2 Voices”, Rowell is equally at home doing a relaxed guy-next-door read in one session, then a convincing businessman or senior citizen in the next, shifting to laid-back storyteller, to a toy robot, to a stuffy butler, or an animated light bulb…all before lunch.

Rowell provides full audio editing and production too! Rowell works from his ISDN-equipped studio, making his clients’ lives a lot easier as “Mr. Warm and Friendly Voice…with Character”.

Rowell is also available for quick turnaround voiceover projects like e-learning, documentary narration, animation, explainer videos as well as audiobooks.

The post Raleigh’s Rowell Gormon Celebrates a Birthday MVO style appeared first on Male Voice-Over Talents - The Voiceover Guys!.

The event bills itself as the ultimate gathering for members of the voice acting community. Unlike many conferences with tens of thousands in attendance, VO Atlanta says it is a focused industry event attracting talent, agents, directors, and industry resources from around the world. It notes its innovative programs and sessions are presented by industry leaders in voiceover.

We observed over 500 people (from beginners to working pros) that came to learn from (and network with) a variety of established voiceover professionals regarding new industry trends in performance, business and technology.

It’s really important for professionals in our (or any) industry to take time to learn from others and connect with fellow voice and media professionals for so many reasons. Two that immediately come to mind are continuing education and just getting out of our VO booths and be around other people. It is reenergizing for voice talents who are the perfect definition of solopreneur.

It was with those points in mind (and more) that a bunch of the Voice-Over Guys attended VO Atlanta this year. From the MVO: The Voice-Over Guys roster, male voice talents that attended included VO Atlanta presenters DOUG TURKEL and DAN FRIEDMAN as well as BRAD VENABLE, GEORGE WASHINGTON, III and PETER K. O’CONNELL.

Very early in his radio career (early 80’s, Madonna was just coming on the music scene), Peter read news in the afternoon for a radio station in Dayton, OH.

Wisely, station management quickly moved Peter over to the music and production departments where he developed into the talented voice-over artist he is today.

Shortly after Peter’s switch away from news, Edward R. Murrow ceased spinning in his grave. It was obvious to all that O’Connell was better suited for radio promos and radio imaging voice-over work than radio news reading.

As his latest NEWS / TALK / SPORTS RADIO IMAGING DEMO shows, Peter is highly skilled at bringing any of those radio formats to life for listeners of news radio, sports radio or talk radio formats radio stations. Programmers love his sound and production guys love his professionalism and audio quality.

Give Peter a call after you give his radio imaging demo a listen.

But don’t ask him to read the news….please!

ABOUT PETER K. O’CONNELL

Before Madonna sang about her virginity, when making a phone call from the road meant plunking twenty five cents into a phone booth, before Michael Jackson’s first plastic surgery and back when getting “on-line” meant waiting to check-out at the grocery store, Peter K. O’Connell was (and today still very much is) a professional voice-over talent.

As America’s friendly, neighborhood voice-over talent, Peter’s amazingly versatile vocal talent allows him to share many voice acting styles with his clients, who range from Fortune 500 Companies to companies who think $500 is a fortune.

A natural born storyteller (his conversational everyman voice is most often favored by media producers), Peter’s chameleon-like voice-over performances are featured world-wide in commercials, narrations, e-learning, documentaries, TV promos, radio imaging and live announcing.

He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio and Television Communication from the University of Dayton (OH) – to this day no one is quite sure how, nonetheless – the official diploma can be found somewhere in his Buffalo, NY home, where Peter lives with his wife and children.

Based in Buffalo, NY, Peter’s voice has been around the world and back including stops in countries like India, South Korea and Canada. He is still best known for his commercial and narration work right here in the good ol’ USA and he tells us a little bit more about himself in this week’s Meet The Voice-Over Guys.

VOICE-OVER IS A PRETTY UNIQUE CAREER CHOICE – HOW DID YOU GET STARTED, PETER?

If I were to jokingly pin the blame on anyone for my broadcast and voice-over careers it would be my parents – to whom I owe everything anyway. My Mother really wanted to work in broadcasting and specifically television but it was at a time when women really didn’t do much television work. My Father won the New York State Oratory Competition when he was in high school. So genetically, one of their children was bound to get into broadcasting in some way!

Then, the broadcasting lamp was lit for me personally when I was in kindergarten and Sister Donna Marie took our class on a field trip to WEBR-AM. And that kind of ignited the flame.

Years later when I was looking at colleges, I knew I wanted to be in radio (I didn’t care much about being on television. All the colleges I looked at had professional radio stations. But the one that got my attention was WVUD-FM at the University of Dayton which was run by radio professionals (GM, PD, Sales Managers) but put students on air in regular daily shifts, So if you were on air, you worked, say Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. to noon like a disc-jockey at any other radio station in the country. That was pretty unique as most college stations let students do a weekly show, which seemed minor league to me. WVUD was definetly the majors for a college student who wanted to work in radio.

So I picked UD as my school and was able to get on-air there in my freshman year. I don’t recall anybody else in my class getting on air there that quickly so I think I had the bug. A fellow student (who was already working at the station) by the name of John Luttrell helped me get that VUD gig and we are still friends today.

From my on-air shift, I really got good at commercial production so I got promoted to that area and that’s where my voice-over career really blossomed.

WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER, WERE THERE ANY VOICE-OVER TALENTS WHO INFLUENCED YOU OR WHO YOU ADMIRED? WHY/HOW?

I knew of guys like Gary Owens and Don Pardo but the voice I wanted to emulate (and never really could) was Ernie Anderson (who I found out later had an Ohio connection having worked at WHK-AM and WJW-TV). Ernie became popular working as the announcer for The Carol Burnett Show and then Fred Silverman made him the voice of ABC Television (he was “The Love Boat” voice). He was easily television’s most recognizable voice then and for many people even now.

Working in radio in the 80’s, as I was, Ernie was the imaging voice of a ton of stations like Z-100 in New York and Y-100. I was on a trip to southern Florida with my parents and I remember getting up early each morning on that trip with my radio and trying to tune in Y-100 to hear Ernie’s top of the hour ID mixed with the Z-100 logo package: “W. H. Y. I! Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and the Palm Beaches! WWWHHHHYYYY OOONNNEEE HUUUNDRED!” It was perfection.

And to this day….I don’t sound anything like him! 

WITH WHICH BRANDS WOULD PEOPLE MOST ASSOCIATE YOUR VOICE?

I’ve been doing voice-over since 1982 so the number of brands and the various media around the globe my voice has been heard during that time is crazy.

For example, nobody in America will know that I was one of the commercial voices of Bacardi Rum…in India. I didn’t even ever consider whether rum was a popular drink in India. Across Canada, I was part of a successful, funny Kraft Foods advertising campaign for Kraft Dinner (which in the States we just call Kraft Cheese and Macaroni). Also in Canada I was part of a more serious, business centric video series for Deloitte. In the States, I still get people who recognize me as the voice of SunSetter Awnings and some work I did for PBS.

So I guess the “people” and “brands” you refer to will depend on which people and where they live!

WHERE WAS/IS THE MOST UNIQUE PLACE SOMEONE WOULD HEAR YOUR VOICE?

Well I suppose if there was a radio on in a bathroom – that would be a unique place to hear my voice. Although I don’t know if I would want to become “the voice of your bathroom”…unless there was a huge check associated with it, then we could talk.

I’ve done some pre-recorded introductions of professional speakers, so you could be at a presentation and my voice would come up. I’ve done spots at sporting events that have played on Jumbotrons, stadium screens. I’m also a popular choice as a live announcer, so you could hear my voice over the speakers at your next awards event.

IF YOU HAD TO PICK YOUR FAVORITE KIND OF VOICE-OVER PROJECT, WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

My favorite would either be commercials or narrations. Then my favorites would be radio and TV imaging and live announcing. Those to me are the most fun projects. But let’s be honest, the only bad jobs in VO are the ones that don’t pay and I don’t do those. : 

WHAT BOOK THAT YOU’VE READ REALLY HELPED SHAPE YOUR LIFE, EITHER PERSONALLY OR PROFESSIONALLY? HOW?

This is tough because two or three pretty different books come to mind, each of which has help shape me in different ways. It also may give you too much insight into how all over the place my mind is at sometimes. But here goes.

John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath gave me tremendous insight and compassion for people who are simply trying to improve their lives through extraordinarily difficult circumstances. That’s pretty good historic perspective told in a very well written book.

Harvey McKay’s How To Swim With The Sharks offers great, simple suggestions about how to handle the every day situations of running a business. I read this book for the first time decades ago and the lessons are still applicable.

Then from a sales perspective, Jeffrey Gitomer’s The Sales Bible is simple, straightforward sales advice that can be applied to almost any business, including voice-over.

VOICE-OVER IS A PRETTY UNIQUE CAREER CHOICE – HOW DID YOU GET STARTED JOHHNY?

I was previously either the Production Director or Creative Services Director at a number of stations in Indianapolis for over 35 years. During my time, I was asked to do spots to run on other stations and after awhile, it became quite lucrative for me to develop a part-time voice career. I also saw the opportunity to attend workshops and expand my talent during that time so I was always trying to up my game and learn all I could looking toward the future. I finally built a full studio at home about 15 years before I went full time as I am now.

WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER, WERE THERE ANY VOICE-OVER TALENTS WHO INFLUENCED YOU OR WHO YOU ADMIRED? WHY/HOW?

Oh yes, I was a fan of Gary Owens, Casey Kasam, Bill Windell, Don LaFontaine and others. I always thought it would be cool to do that and during school, I was MC for Variety Shows, Beauty Pageants, plays, etc. That really wet my appetite as I was growing up.

WITH WHICH BRANDS WOULD PEOPLE MOST ASSOCIATE YOUR VOICE?

I’m currently the national voice of J.D. Byrider, a Buy Here-PayHere franchise across the US. I’ve also been the national voice for Sylvan Leaning Centers, One Water, Thomasville Furniture, Beall’s, Campbell Soup, The Hoosier Lottery, The Kentucky Lottery & Georgia Lottery. I’ve been on Madden ’06, played Stan Lee on “Spiderman & Friends”, Character voice for several small children toys and Disney Learning games. (Plus a multitude of auto spots in regions where I compete with myself on the same brand, but my vocal variety affords me the pleasure to do so)

WHERE WAS/IS THE MOST UNIQUE PLACE SOMEONE WOULD HEAR YOUR VOICE?

My sister and husband were in the US Army and stationed in Bamburg, Germany. At her going away party, she remarked that she wouldn’t miss hearing me on the radio or TV since she’d be halfway around the world. Little did she know, one day while sunning on her patio there in Germany, one of my PSA’s came on the air on the American Forces Radio Network promoting Join The Army. She about fell off her feet and started laughing. “I can’t even escape over here without hearing Johnny!” Additionally, I am the voice of the training course for all new employees at the Bahrain International Airport. One of my traveling friends heard it while on business over there in the airport.

IF YOU HAD TO PICK YOUR FAVORITE KIND OF VOICE-OVER PROJECT, WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

I love doing Explainer Video voiceovers. I get to inject my personality into the read and it’s more gratifying than reading straight copy. Also developing voices for Talking Toys is always fun. I have several of them as souvenirs in my studio.

WHAT BOOK THAT YOU’VE READ REALLY HELPED SHAPE YOUR LIFE, EITHER PERSONALLY OR PROFESSIONALLY? HOW?

Besides PLAYBOY? Actually, one of my favorites has been, “The Pursuit of WOW” by Tom Peters. Also, “Who Moved My Cheese” by Spenser Johnson was a really good book to make you think about being indecisive and looking for success. And currently, I’m reading Joe Cipriano’s book, Living On Air. I find it fascinating and an easy read as told by Joe regarding his life & career. Priceless.
