Michael Schwalbe’s voice over work is ultra professional in every facet. He has delivered us smooth impacting voice over work every single time and on the first take.
His voice is smooth and soothing with dynamic range. He can hit multiple styles and feels. His delivery is second to none. We often give Michael projects on very short notice
and he has them back to us in an amazingly short time. I would highly recommend Michael Schwalbe’s voice over work to any industry professional.
I have been doing documentaries for 10 years and I have never found anyone who can interpret text the way Michael can. He is fast, and is an extreme pleasure to work with. If you want hassle-free quality, then go with this guy!
Michael Schwalbe is a professional! From a warm and gentle presentation to a strong, vibrant rendering, he’s got the chops. As a producer, I really appreciate Michael’s ability to take direction and understand the nuance I’m going for. And I’m very impressed with the wide variety of moods and emotions he can bring to a project. He’s a joy to work with, and the results are simply stunning.
Michael Schwalbe performed my voice over with a level of style, energy and perfection that I could have never anticipated was possible when writing the text. On top of that, his extremely fast turnaround time and ability to take direction made the overall process of working with him an absolute breeze. Very excited to work with him again!
I had the chance to work with Michael on a super tight deadline, stressful project. At first I was worried that because of the time difference that meeting the delivery time and communication would be a problem, however to my greatest surprise, working with Michael even if we were on completely different times, I felt that we were working closely together.
He delivered on time, was easy to get in touch with and the quality of the V.O.’s he delivered was impeccable.
Furthermore, Michael’s professionalism, friendliness and reliability took a huge load and contributed to a smooth project delivery.
When Michael auditioned for the part, I knew he had to be the one for the role. When we recorded he was friendly, listened to commentary and most of all, very into the character. Definitely a great decision, and will absolutely make the movie something incredibly special.
Working with Michael is an absolute breeze. He’s very communicative, easy to deal with, submits his work on time (and sometimes before the deadline). He really is a very talented professional. I highly recommend that others work with him.
Michael operates in the responsive, professional manner that one would hope all businesses strive to achieve. It is readily apparent that he is not finished until the end product is absolutely perfect and you are completely thrilled with the result. It is one thing to hear amazing voice talent on TV or the radio, but when it’s your own words brought to life the experience is truly memorable.
