Voice by Ben

• Media Production

• Voice Actor

  • May 2010 - Present

  Kennesaw, GA Ben is a voice actor, and most importantly- THE sound of the Guy Next Door. Upbeat, quirky and relatable, he's your man whether you need to take that dry, technical copy and get the message to "real" people or simply have an authentic commercial voice that's never announcer-y. (Unless you're looking for that sound. Then he rocks it like nobody's business!).
