ABOUT
DAN FRIEDMAN – Producer, Audio Engineer, Author and Voice Talent
Dan was born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and is a husband and father of 2 boys. Dan’s higher educational journey began at Michigan State University as a journalism major. From there, he went on to attend the University of Florida, Florida International University and the University of South Florida. However, when he was introduced to audio engineering in 1994, he realized his career dream and ended his educational journey at The Recording Workshop in Chillicothe, Ohio finishing among the top 5 in his class.
Having already begun work in the field, Dan was working as a live sound engineer all around the Tampa Bay area. Working with music acts of all styles, levels of experience, egos and personalities, both signed and unsigned as well as on stages and in venues of all sizes was both challenging and exciting. At the same time, he began working in radio as a broadcast engineer for rock stations Thunder105 and 98Rock and also got his first opportunity in a recording studio at Bay Sound Recording as a paid assistant.
In 1997, Dan and his fiancé moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he continued to work as a live sound engineer but also expanded his role in radio, working for 96rock as a broadcast engineer and promotions manager. He also began work in front of the microphone as co-host of the local music show Stage96. In 1999 he left radio and discovered the world of voiceover recording when he became the studio manager for a company specializing in voice recording for telephony. This lead to many new opportunities, including taking classes in voice-over from area professionals.
When it seemed it was time to think about starting a family, Dan and his wife moved to the beautiful mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. He soon began work at ProComm Voices where he continues to work as an engineer and producer. Now with over 10 years at ProComm Voices, he has produced, directed or provided his voice to thousands of audio productions.
In 2010 he published SOUND ADVICE- Voiceover From An Audio Engineer’s Perspective. A first of its kind in the industry, the book covers audio engineering and studio session etiquette as it relates directly to voiceover talent. He continues to write a popular blog and website: SOUND4VO.com. His ability to simplify often complex recording and audio concepts is unmatched in the voiceover industry.
Dan Friedman is an accomplished engineer, producer, director and author. He is also a successful voiceover talent and has been heard on hundreds of local and regional television and radio campaigns as well as many corporate narrations. His list of clients, credits and commercial campaigns continues to grow.
