Consultant

Since 2004, I have been providing three different levels of consulting as part of my voiceover capabilities:

• Textual Analysis— Interpreting the script orally while giving feedback on the text style, arrangement and through line.
• Persona Development— Works well for new campaigns because Dustin reads the script with different attitudes and varied pacing to create a unique persona for the product line.
• Recording Assessment— For clients using The Artist’s Den for their audio sweetening and other production needs, this service is particularly useful for long-term campaigns and clients striving for top-flight consistency with file tone and quality.

"Although I bring my voice and knowledge I’m still very aware of my role as the talent. My goal is merely to facilitate the art of voiceover.

“What’s on the paper isn’t always what I’m hearing in my head . . . Dustin’s versatility is highly beneficial for finding the voice of a piece and it’s audience.”

“Dustin James has been an invaluable help to us with our speech recognition application . . . After the design and scripting for a large release have neared completion, I bring Dustin in to read through the scripts in the voice of our persona. This really brings the application to life before we record and allows us to make changes that we otherwise may not have made . . . In addition, Dustin makes suggestions and comments that help the design team finely tune the prompts.”
