Hiram's Samples

My Sample Clips

To give prospective clients a sample of what my voice sounds like in different circumstances, and to provide evidence of producing a professional grade finished product, I have provided the samples below.  Whenever I’m engaged in a project, I try to have fun with characterization; the process of bringing a character to life.  As such, the more tips you can give me to add color to your characters, the better I’ll be able to understand how they may speak and emphasize their speech.  In certain cases, the addition of mixing two or more audio tracks together, or the application of a light audio effect may enhance a story, as long as it’s used very sparingly.  Too many effects will detract from the presentation of a book in an audio format.
