Overview Doug de Nance is a most unique talent with an award winning history in two distinct voice work disciplines. Doug regularly records voice over projects for clients around the world while also performing consistently as a live event announcer - most notably (or notoriously) as the voice of monster truck shows.

Low maintenance and highly conscientious, Doug makes voice work easy, effective and efficient for his clients that keeps them coming back again and again. Doug’s secret is to tell his client’s stories out loud to create the best impression possible – and loving every minute of it. Working from professionally equipped ISDN capable private and portable studios, Doug can deliver high quality dry voice North American English audio files in any format through his secure FTP site, typically within 24 hours. Doug’s voice versatility has served hundreds of projects. Ranging from commercials to narration to animation, Doug’s recent clients include Fed-Ex, Wal-Mart, Standard Life, United Safety and Much Music.

I lead the production team at TELUS and Doug not only brings the right voice, he brings the right mix of charm and professionalism to work. By always coming prepared and ready to voice, Doug helps my people win with our productions.\\\" Nicholas Cartmel, TELUS “When we had our first real national advertising talent change in five years it was important to find the right feel. Doug can do the spectacle of sound with the best in the biz, but we were looking for a normal guy... professional normal mind you… Doug nailed it with his range. Brian Carnwath, Taco Time “I was privileged to work with Doug in my very first animation booking.....when he opened up those deep pipes and added his jowly twist, it was instant...I knew this man was going to go places, not to mention that voice truly moves me. Doug is a special breed of voice talent though....I admire incredibly his ability to perform as the voice for Monster Truck Shows for the last 30 years. Doug has the ability to hit the darkest of places like no other....however he can also take us on a friendly journey. He knows how to turn on the ladies with his baritone pipes yet use his acting skills when realism is called for and sound like \\\'everyday guy\\\'...but believe me, his baritone pipes are worth listening to. He\\\'s an incredibly hard worker, crafty and knows exactly what he\\\'s doing. It is without hesitation that I recommend Doug deNance. Debbie Munro, Mic \\\'n\\\' Me “Doug developed an audio marketing piece to promote my financial planning practice. From concept to completion, Doug was meticulous in getting it done right. I was very pleased with the end result and the overall experience.” Richard Sheppard, Investors Syndicate “Doug is an incredibly skilled voice over artist with impeccable skills. With his amazing voice along with his top of the line studio - you know you will always get the very best when you work with him. I highly recommend him for all of your voice over needs.” Michelle Summers, VP, VoiceCasting - Partner, VOplanet \\\"Doug is that voice that when heard, one immediately thinks \\\"Now that is a special talent!”. He definitely takes the job of announcer/commentator that many think of as a pretty easy job- and makes everyone realize that it takes great skill and talent, and that he has that talent. Doug treats every event he is hired for seriously and never \\\'phones in\\\' his work. Great amounts of effort are dedicated to research, production and proper execution. I certainly hope I never have to go head to head for a job with Doug- I would surely come in second!\\\" Cory Stem, Loud and Clear Marketing \\\"I started working with Doug when I was launching my company.
