I’m pleased to announce that I am now represented in the Dallas/Fort Worth area by Kim Dawson Agency, thanks to a referral from my friend Amber Cotton. I had a wonderful visit on Tuesday with my new agent, Julie Holman, who has posted my demo to the agency web site as well as Video Voicebank. I’m absolutely thrilled to take this step in my voiceoverRead More »New Agent
Last year my friends on the VO-BB put together an audio rendition of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. Unable to participate then, I was hoping to get in on the action if it was repeated this year, when what to my wondering eyes should appear but a post from Jeffrey Kafer about his plan to create a video version!
A short while ago I was contacted about narrating a demo video for a new business called Brand Me Big. The site went live not long ago, and shortly thereafter the demo video was up and running. For those who may have trouble playing it from their site, here’s the video via YouTube. Update 10/26/2013: Brand Me Big no longer exists.

Sure enough, the pressure was way below the recommended level. A few quick pumps later and it was back to normal, and IRead More »Are You Pumped?
Just got word that the next pair of Webosaurs vignettes have been released, and one of them (the first one you see below) features my vocal alter-ego, Pterry the pterodactyl. The other three lead characters — Horns, Rexxy, and Stretch — are voiced by the project’s art director, Justin Harder. In related news, I’m nearly finished with my VO web site, and will have theRead More »Introducing Pterry
[audio:http://www.justinbvocal.com/audio/demos/JustinBarrett_Commercial.mp3] My first commercial demo was completed a few weeks ago, and oddly enough I’ve been struggling to find the time to sit down and post about it here. I really like how it turned out, and am particularly happy that I chose Ben Wilson as my demo producer. His production prowess and expert guidance through the recording session made the whole process a joy. Read More »First Commercial Demo!
