PIERCE PETER BRANDT

"My voice is my life!"

Pierce is one of the premier new Non-Union voice talents in the voiceover industry. Pierce's voice has been called the epitome of the "All American Guy" voice which, surprisingly, is hard to find. With a wealth of experience as a professional actor and singer, Pierce often happily reflects on how his voice has been -- and is -- his life, as so much of what he does relies on his voice and how it enables and shapes his personal expression, whether as a singer, an actor, or, of course, a voiceover actor. Pierce's experience includes TV, film, commercials, and professional theater (including the blockbuster Broadway production of Les Miserables). Pierce's voice is a natural for the world of voiceover, whether it's real, genuine, and approachable for commercials, edgy and rich for promos and trailers, or fun, quirky, and unique for character work ... and, just about everything or anything in between.
