Duane Lawrence - Voice 0ver Actor

'I've been working as commercial voice-over talent for over 15 years. I have a body of work in narration, commercials, documentaries, corporate videos, video games, messages on hold and more. Some of my voice-over idols are Will Lyman (PBS Frontline) and Keith David (Ken Burn's PBS production, War).

My voice delivery style has been described as thoughtful, friendly, refreshing, authoritative, cool, pleasant, educational and flexible and able to draw the listener in for a closer "look".
