Mike Previti
My name is Mike Previti and here’s a bit about me and my journey into the voice over business.
At a young age my passions were acting and music. I started playing drums at ten years old and at the same time joined theatre locally and signed with a Boston talent agency and acted in a few commercials. After transitioning to singing and playing guitar in my late teens, my passion was concentrated on music.
After realizing my direction, I continued on as a singer/songwriter for many years. Hundreds and hundreds of hours were spent writing and recording vocals. Quickly learning my way around being able to record my voice and getting me ready for what was to come in voice over.
Somewhere along the way I was asked to try my hand at voice overs. Given my ability to record myself, add music and produce a demo reel, I did so and quickly started getting hired for projects. My love for voice over is just as strong as my love was for songwriting and performing.
I take direction well and am concentrated on customer service first. I want to give clients an unforgettable experience when working with me whether it’s a live directed session or a project I record and send along to the client. My voice age range is from teen to middle aged. I can be friendly, approachable, animated, somber and professional.
I have a slight rasp to my voice and can either bring it out more or dial it back for effect dependent on the client’s needs. Whether it be a commercial project, eLearning, animation, narration or IVR, I will always put 100% in to all projects and create the best product I can.
Some of the projects I have voiced recently:
Hot Wheels, Hamilton County Environmental, Indiana State University, Dominican College, Mercedes-Benz, BMW International, University of Florida, Hammer Strength Fitness, Curious George e-book narrator, audio book narration “Journey Into Darkness”.
My gear consists of Adobe Audition DAW, AKG perception 420 microphone and Focusrite Scarlett Solo interface. Source Connect Standard, Zoom or Skype are options I can utilize for live directed sessions.
