What I can do for you
Commercial
Looking to advertise? Years of training in public speaking means I can sell ice to an Eskimo.
e-Learning
Teaching is one of my passions. I can engage an audience so that they don’t even realise they’re learning.
Narration
A great voice for your audiobook, news article or other long-form project can make all the difference.
Voice mail
Your customers deserve to be greeted by a friendly, professional voice when they call your business.
Equipment
How I get you high-quality recordings
The Booth
The first step in great audio is a great recording space.
All my recordings are done in my custom-made, acoustically treated vocal booth. I designed and built it myself.
The noise floor of my booth is 24 dB(A) SPL, which in terms of loudness lies somewhere between the sound of your own breathing and some leaves rustling in the wind.
There will be no background noise in anything I record for you.
Microphone
CAD E100S
The second step in great audio is a great microphone. My personal favourite is the CAD E100S: a versatile condenser microphone that boasts a near-silent self-noise and a detailed, articulate sound profile.
In case my E100S doesn’t quite get the sound your project needs, I have a large collection of other microphones I can draw from instead.
Interface
Behringer UMC1820
Getting audio from the microphone to the workstation is a critical part of the signal chain. With dead quiet preamps and a 24-bit, 96kHz analog-to-digital converter, the UMC1820 provides a clean, crystal-clear transition from the microphone to my PC.
Digital Workstation
REAPER
The final step in the process is editing the audio files to ensure the highest quality. REAPER is a robust, professional digital audio workstation that comes equipped with all the tools I need to bring your creative vision to life.

About Me
In high school, my then- English teacher noticed I had a penchant for being in front of crowds. For the next four years, she would shape my public speaking skills like a master craftsman hones a blade. Mary Jo, I was blessed by your effort and attention to detail. Your unwavering faith in me propelled me to this incredibly privileged position. I can never thank you enough.
Outside of voiceover work, I am a graduate student at the University of New Brunswick, where I follow my other passion — mathematics! I study Geometric Group Theory, which is a beautiful intersection of some of my favourite subjects: combinatorics, abstract algebra, and topology.
I like to fly planes, I like to teach math, and I like to talk — that’s about all there is to say about me.
Social
I have a second website for my academic endeavours: academic.brcook.ca.
