HERE'S WHAT VOICE ACTORS ARE DOING AROUND THE WORLD!

A blog post by Peter K. O'Connell audio'connell was featured

September is National Voice Over Month

Not to be too dramatic about it, but it’s about damn time. Almost every group, organization and/or species has a week or month named in honor of them. Often times it sounds like a joke when you hear some of their names and so too may the impressi…

Hi Deb, Because we did everything so fast (idea to launch in about 5 days) we thought - depending on first year success - we'd add INTERnational next year...but know that the SPIRIT if not the name of the event is totally international. Canada is l…

Profile Information

I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)

Voice Actor, Copy Writer, Studio Engineer, Creative Director, Voiceover Coach

HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE

As a high school student, Peter K. O’Connell garnered strange looks from his parents as they passed by his room when he would practice his announcing skills by reading magazine advertisement copy out loud. While they might have expected to hear a record from Bruce Springsteen, Peter’s parents got Ed McMahon instead.

The practice paid off for this 27+ year voice over talent from Upstate New York who has lent his voice to hundreds of commercials, narrations and broadcast imaging projects across the United States and internationally including England, Ireland, Switzerland and Canada.

Peter is President of audio’connell Voice Over Talent (www.audioconnell.com), a professional voiceover service. Peter’s multi-faceted voiceover abilities have allowed him to share many vocal styles with his clients; from soft-sell to hard sell, everyman to character voices of every shape, size and species.

Some of Peter O’Connell’s professional voiceover credits include productions for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), Shell Oil, Starz Cable Channel, New Jersey Alliance and New Jersey Tourism, J. Walter Thompson Advertising (JWT), 2K Games, Cleveland Browns, Tops Friendly Markets, Island Press Publishers, Harlequin Enterprises, First Choice Power, Bank of Tuscaloosa, Crosby Stills & Nash, Fashion Outlet Mall, Junior Chamber International, Peek N’ Peak Resort and Spa, Devaweb and The Advertising Club of Buffalo.

Peter has also written an e-book entitled The Voice Over Entrance Exam (www.voiceoverentranceexam.com). The book examines the business and performance realities of becoming a voice over talent and maintaining a career among a spirited field of established professionals.

Peter has served in leadership roles on numerous boards and has received many distinguished honors for his numerous achievements in the areas of broadcasting, sales, marketing and community service.

He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio and Television Communication from the University of Dayton (OH). A pathetic (yet dedicated) golfer, Peter lives in Upstate New York with his wife and children.

Not to be too dramatic about it, but it’s about damn time.

Almost every group, organization and/or species has a week or month named in honor of them. Often times it sounds like a joke when you hear some of their names and so too may the impression here now for some, but it’s not.

audio’connell on YouTube

I am not a pioneer on most things, including social media. I like to see where things are going, if they are going to build up a big enough head of steam and then decide to join in.

It was that way for me with Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and now with

voting is now open: nominees for world news with diane sawyer fauxdition announced

With my sincere thanks to the record 96 participants in this faux-dition and the gracious judges (all of whom said the process was very difficult) there are now terrific 11 nominees for you to vote on (11 because there was a tie for 10th spot and 11 is a bigger number than 10 and because I said so.)

1. The decision of audio’connell voice over talent (that would be me) is final

Attention All Yellow Bellied Chickens!

Hello my fellow VO's!

The 2009 edition of audio'connell's Unofficial Casting Call (this year for the Announcer for ABC’s “World News with Diane Sawyer”) will end THIS MONDAY, January 4, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. eastern US time (1700 hrs).

From that point, the judges will whittle all the submissions down to their 10 best and voting will begin. No, you won’t get the real job (it's a fake audition) and no there is no prize except for bragging rights. Just ask past winners David Houston, Mike Elmore and… Continue

voice over talents – do i have your blog listed?

Back in the early 1950’s ;) when I started out blogging about voice overs (and marketing and advertising), there were like…5 of us. Now there’s a double-decker London bus full of voice over bloggers.

While I think I have them all listed here and subscribe to them all, I know that the playing field changes fast and frequently. That coupled with the fact that some bloggers fall of the face of the earth or get bored with blogging means my list needs updating. If you’d rather not watch paint dry, y… Continue

How's it going!?!?! The new year kickin' it up for you???

I know you’ve been a member of Voiceover Universe for some time, but I wanted to introduce one of our groups to you.

I hope you'll check out and join a group called MARKETING FOR FUN AND PROFIT. It's a group dedicated to discussing ways we can market ourselves - what works; what doesn't. You’ll find some very interesting ideas and concepts there! And we would appreciate your input. Click here for the link: MARKETING FOR FUN AND PROFIT!
