Professional acting demo/resume

Joel Bryant has a wealth of voice-over and ADR experience (in fact, the Farrelly Brothers called him "the voice" on the set of "The Heartbreak Kid."). His deep but laid-back tones reflect his Mid-West upbringing and denote a source of friendly reason for those that hear him. Having been trained in Shakespeare and performed theatre to solid reviews, Joel can bring an enunciated authority, but is also adept at displaying an "Everyman" attitude and tone.

His comic chops range from years of improv training to treading the stand-up stages throughout the Southwest. Because of this, and his many sketch shows, he's very adept at character voice work and accents. He can do dead-pan, authority, upper- and lower-class, caffeinated and energetic, classic testosteroned "truck show" announcer, shy lower-tiered neurotic, and unique spins on any characters in-between. He can do most regional U.S. and a good amount of foreign tones (Canadian, Scottish, Austrailian, German). Voice-work highlights:
-- Call-in characters for "The Howard Stern Show" and "Mancow In The Morning"
-- Lead character in "The Cubes" (MySpace TV's first animated series)
-- Lead in Beau L'Amour's audiodrama "Louis L'Amour's The Diamond of Jeru"
-- American dub for the Russian hit film "Mirror Wars: Reflection One"
-- Commercials for Hasbro, Discovery Channel, NFL Network
-- VO for industrials for Coastal Training Technologies, JobSmart, and James Standfield Co.
-- ADR recordist for films ("Her Minor Thing," "Music Within," "Knight to F4")
-- Voices for podcasts "Betty Bowers" "The Adventures of Dr. Floyd" and "Feast of Fun."
