TESTIMONIALS:
NexusCore
Ltd.
"I
had a large character acting job which needed a
voice and needed it fairly quickly. From the
moment I heard Sean's audition for the roles, I
knew I found the right guy. Sean proved to
be one of those guys who could take the initiative
to 'run' with some character biography information
and breathe life into a believable set of
individuals with voice alone. He required no
actual 'direction' and had a great grasp on what
it means to 'act' the roles. Not to mention
he turned around a lot of dialogue in less
than 24 hours of request. I highly recommend
Sean Crisden for any of your character acting
projects."

"Sean Crisden recently did
voice-over work with our company on a health- care
training video. Not only did he bring great talent
to his VO parts, he was very timely with all
responses and paperwork and thoroughly
professional. Sean also brought a great sense of
humor to the process which kept our whole team
smiling throughout the project delivery. I give
him my highest recommendation."

"I would recommend Sean Crisden to anyone
requiring voice talent. He is a highly talented
individual who is not only creative and passionate
about his work but a true professional. He was
able to manage my entire project including other
voice talents whilst always keeping me abreast of
his progress.
Sean was very easy to work with making the entire
process fun and exciting. He was also able to work
to tight deadlines without compromising on
quality. I would not hesitate in using Sean
for any other upcoming projects I have."

"I was looking for a great voice for my promo to
present during my participation at the NASDAQ
closing bell ceremony last June. I felt in love
with Sean's voice, so I immediately chose him for
that project. Since then, I always hire Sean to be
the voice of my television promos. I particularly
like that he is always professional, fast, and
punctual. And I love that he makes my work sound
great!"

Clenova
"Clenova contacted Mr. Crisden to voice a demo of
our web search technology, DoubleDip. This demo
was to be used in presentations given to VC's, so
it was important that the voice over sounded
professional and polished, but at the same time we
didn't want to put our audience to sleep. Mr.
Crisden instinctively knew what we were going for,
and struck a perfect balance in tone and
enthusiasm. We were very pleased with the result,
and the excellent turnaround time. We will
undoubtedly seek his services again in the
future."

THE STORY:
I have been a professional voice artist since
2006, but my history extends deeper than that.
As a child, I was known as "Radio Man" for the
articulate, listenable qualities within my
voice. This lead to an early pursuit of
performing and I performed for nearly a decade
with the prog rock band Divided Sky as the
vocalist and guitar player. I have expanded my
abilities into on-camera acting, appearing in
several films and commercials including M. Night
Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender". I continue to
grow, develop and refine my talents in an
ongoing effort to find fulfillment by drinking
of my creative well. I also train in several
martial arts and do my best despite the lure of
my bed to stay in excellent physical
shape.

STUDIO:
I work out of
my own studio, which is located within my
home. "The Legendary Studio Surprise" as it is
known, has a laundry list of quality gear
since one of its other purposes has been to
record bands and musicians. For the purpose of
voice over work, the following gear is
typically employed:
-
Neumann
TLM-103 condenser microphone – a
studio classic, its character works well
with the quality of my voice, and is simply
perfect for almost any voice over duty.
Articulate, clear, warm and full, it’s a
solid choice.
-
Avalon
VT-737sp Preamp/Channel Strip – an
award winning preamp found in almost any
studio worth its salt. Everyone from Michael
Jackson to AC/DC have used this unit on
their recordings. Big, warm, organic tube
character pairs with the Neumann TLM-103
perfectly.
-
Cubase
5 Audio Production Software – Flexible
and powerful, I also have quite a collection
of plug-ins and additional software.
-
My
Voice – Certainly the most important
part of the entire signal chain and
something that you won't find anywhere else.
Versatile, entertaining and environmentally
friendly unless tired or cranky. Its
supplemented with years of training,
performance and practice to keep it in top
shape!
