I LOVE your HAIR!!! Are your CURLS REAL?!
- commonly asked question
Absolutely! My CURLS are definitely REAL! As is my VOICE and my COMMITMENT to my clients…
Hi! My name is Monique Bagwell and I’d love to be a voiceover resource for you. With over 30 years experience as a performer, educator, and voice-over artist, I can say without a doubt: I TALK FOR A LIVING.
More importantly, I help my clients shine in their own spotlight by using a variety of effective communication techniques.
By using a professional VO artist, you benefit in having the confidence that your personal story is being shared the way you want it to be heard, you also gain more time to focus on other important matters, and you can find comfort in knowing that you are working with someone who understands your specific needs.
The one thing I love about what I do is seeing the satisfaction my clients feel knowing that I genuinely care about making sure the work is done professionally…and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
My vocal skills are as versatile as the direction my curls move! My voice has been described as rich, articulate, confident, expressive and inviting, and has been used to communicate a wide variety of messages. I’ve used my vocal performance skills by sharing stories through voice over projects such as: Audiobooks, Corporate Narration, e-Learning, Audio Drama, IVR, Podcasts, and much more.
My background is as unique as my hair! I come from a rich multi-cultural background that encouraged natural curiosity, and a desire to always learn more. I enjoy interpreting, analyzing and communicating a variety of messages to a diverse audience.
As a performer, there is tremendous satisfaction in breathing life into the written word, and touching the hearts and minds of your audience.
Whether you are looking for a ‘straight’ conversational read, or a ‘curly’ playful read…I bring the following qualities to all my work:
- Genuine commitment to your project
- Ability to tell your story the way you want it expressed
- An eye and ear for detail
- Quality product
- Respect for deadlines
- Reasonable Rates
- Secure Archives of Projects
Plus BONUS Skills, such as…
- Genuine emotional connection is what I strive for in every project. As a Level 3 Certified performer/coach in the Emotional Body, I can help you achieve the emotional impact you seek , or help you tap into your own emotional range without the ’emotional hangovers’ using somatic breathing techniques. I promote responsible acting training by helping actors avoid Emotional Hangovers through our Step Out Method. For more information, you can read my article ‘EMOTIONAL HANGOVER’ in the Southeastern Theatre Magazine Or, listen to my interview on #VO BOSS podcast on the importance of Emotional Intelligence.
- Accent/dialect work. My primary language is General American English. It is also what I teach. However, because I am well versed in IPA, I can also use different accents when needed. You can listen to my accent work on my Demo Samples. If you would like to learn more about my coaching work in GAE then please visit my VO Shop.
