"...To paint a picture, Bo Barker has the voice of an iron worker recounting the time he saved a kitten from disaster. A gentle blue collar voice whose only desire is to do the job right, and then enjoy a cold beer afterwards with friends... While not afraid to speak up, Bo knows that strength is not in how loud a man is, nor how hard he pumps his fist, but in a quiet fortitude that delivers each and every time. He is the perfect man for your next political campaign, crop commercial, or national truck ad."

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

from Los Angeles

"...Bo Barker has one of the richest, most powerful storytelling voices I have ever heard!"

— Jesse Springer,

Award-Winning Producer & National Campaign Voice Talent

 Why Do Respected Businesses & Creatives Across Many Sectors Choose Bo Barker VO (BoVO)?
 
Even as ‘guy next door’ and ‘conversational’ seem to be the casting ‘spec du jour,’ when it comes to important project efforts that demand a little ‘extra-something’ - a bit more influence or an implied distinction - leading brands, organizations and content producers often turn to the pure authenticity and signature voice texture of Bo Barker VO (BoVO).
 
Bo's particularly unique tone, and practiced voiceover approach emanates a believable sense of earthy, grounded knowledge with a pragmatism-laden gravitas that comes from true and varied life experience, valleys and peaks, triumphs and defeats, laughter and tears. With a wholly organic vocal foundation, and considerable studio experience working with major clients and creatives in both on-site and remote-connected directed sessions; For better or for worse, what you hear is what you get with Bo. Fine wines, celebrated whiskey blends, and a storyteller's hallmarks all take time and experience to be at their best. A distinguishing vocal tone and pattern evolves in the same manner. 
 
One can only "give out what you have from within", and savvy ears invariably hear something beyond the inherent quiet authority and subtle power of Bo's voice, and pick up on the demonstrated ability to effectively convey a particular message. Names like Sutherland, Douglas, Freeman, Bridges, Coyote, Cullen, Rowe, Allen and Elliott have often come up in reaction to the various flavors of Bo's distinctive sound, and for good reason... He strikes the same timeless chords of trust, credibility, and reliability, while providing an interpretation on script that is wholly his own. A "Bo-nafide" signature voice to be sure. 

After all, when is the last time you just incidentally asked the 'chatty 20s or 30s-something down the street’ for advice on the things that REALLY mattered? While some people are great to have ‘live next door ,’ you may not be inclined to hand over the reins of your retirement strategy to them or let them sway you on your next big ticket purchase or life decision.
 
If some of the most respected brands and causes around the globe entrust Bo Barker VO to put his "voice stamp" on their creative vision, it’s a good bet that your next project would do well to do so, too. Reach out to Bo or one of his adept agent partners. You'll be glad that you did.
