I am Don McDonald, a professional voice talent and radio talk show host with over 30 years of experience in broadcasting and voice acting. I have also been stage and film actor for over 40 years. I also created two short story podcasts, Litreading and Readastorus (for children).
I am honored to have been nominated for two prestigous One Voice Awards in 2024; Best Performance in a Political Commercial and Best Performance in a Documentary. Scroll down to see the two nominated videos.
From years as a live event “voice of god” to a warm, relatable storyteller, I have been helping companies build brands, communicate better, and more tightly connect with customers for decades.
Voice seekers like me. My auditions at Voices.com have a shortlist/listen ratio of more than 30%: of those, over 20% have become clients.
I would love to audition for you. I think you’ll like what you hear. Just drop me a line.
