Brent Halfyard narrator for Very Bad Men-aring now on Investigation Discovery

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 12:12am 0 Comments 0 Likes

Pleased to announce I'm the narrator for this revamped docu-crime-drama series airing Thursday Nights on Investigation Discovery.

Please post any advice based on experience, cost not an issue.
Thanks!

Apex mic upgrade

Posted on December 14, 2009 at 3:16pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

I have an APEX 450 mic and I've heard of a relatively cheap upgrade kit to make it sound like a $2000.00 or higher mic. Does anyone have a clue how and where to go about this?

If you need any other voices other than what you deliver, check out my new Animation Demo on my website www.patsvoice.com. The demo still needs some tweaking but after a lengthy period of training I am excited about entering into this fun area. Continued success Brent!
