“This book is an absolute aural treat. It’s the transcription of an oral history told by Nate Shaw, an elderly African-American sharecropper living in the South. While the written words might be interesting, in audio they are absolutely transfixing. Sean Crisden narrates the work with just the right regional accent, cadence, and pacing. Even the ramblings seem natural. It takes several minutes to get used to the strong rural accent—such as dropped “g’s,” “de” instead of “the,” and other regional pronunciations—but after that, it’s like listening to a master storyteller spin the tales of his youth and adulthood. R.C.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine”

Audiofile Magazine

The team of Leonard Pitts, Jr., and Sean Crisden has created a post-Civil War masterpiece. The lives of freed slaves, particularly that of Sam Freeman, are presented in unsparing brutality, with snippets of kindness and humanity by an occasional white person. Crisden expertly depicts Sam’s journey on foot from Pennsylvania to Mississippi in search of his wife. Every emotion, shattered dream, and joyous occasion is deftly captured regardless of the background of the character–man, woman, or child black or white Northerner or Southerner. Crisden excels with the beautifully descriptive words, nuanced characters, and perfect dialogue, making not only the people but also the events come alive. S.G.B.

Sean is an incredibly prompt, versatile, and professional voice actor. In the time-sensitive world of production, Sean is always reliable in delivering his work. Also, Sean has incredible range. When I came across an older published project, I had to double-check to make sure it was actually Sean that was assigned to the project. A great talent and a fun guy to work with.

Joe Encarnacion, Creative DirectorHatchback Studios

I LOVED working with Sean. He was professional, approachable and did such an amazing job with my books that it felt as if he climbed into my brain and found out what my characters sounded like. It was amazing to hear the Tate Pack cowboys come to life with Sean’s talented voice. The Rooster & The Pig Publishing will DEFINITELY be using him again.

Vicktor AlexanderThe Rooster & The Pig Publishing

As the owner of an audiobook company, I easily listen to dozens of demos a week. Yet, the first time I heard Sean’s voice, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Beyond being clear and radiant, there is depth in every, single utterance he makes. It seems to matter little what is on the page, Sean knows how to tell a story. And he does so perfectly. In the years we’ve worked together, he has consistently met deadlines and exceeded expectations. Everyone at Red Planet Audiobooks loves him, and I guarantee that you will love him, too.

Jenna Opperman, Founder and StrongboxRed Planet Audiobooks

Clenova contacted Mr. Crisden to voice a demo of our web search technology, DoubleDip. This demo was to be used in presentations given to VC’s, so it was important that the voice over sounded professional and polished, but at the same time we didn’t want to put our audience to sleep. Mr. Crisden instinctively knew what we were going for, and struck a perfect balance in tone and enthusiasm. We were very pleased with the result, and the excellent turnaround time. We will undoubtedly seek his services again in the future.

I was looking for a great voice for my promo to present during my participation at the NASDAQ closing bell ceremony last June. I felt in love with Sean’s voice, so I immediately chose him for that project. Since then, I always hire Sean to be the voice of my television promos. I particularly like that he is always professional, fast, and punctual. And I love that he makes my work sound great!

Ornella FadoCreator/TV Hostess and ProducerBrindiamo!

I would recommend Sean Crisden to anyone requiring voice talent. He is a highly talented individual who is not only creative and passionate about his work but a true professional. He was able to manage my entire project including other voice talents whilst always keeping me abreast of his progress.

Sean was very easy to work with making the entire process fun and exciting. He was also able to work to tight deadlines without compromising on quality.  I would not hesitate in using Sean for any other upcoming projects I have.

Vadim UgovVice PresidentSlime Sandwich

Sean is an amazing guy to work with. Quick work, prompt responses, really professional and most of all – highly versatile. He’s unselfish and not afraid to help your project succeed.

Sean plays wacky and straight characters with equal ease. An absolute pleasure working with him!

Joey RojakProducerPhartoonsPhartoons: Make Me A Star

Sean Crisden recently did voice-over work with our company on a health- care training video. Not only did he bring great talent to his VO parts, he was very timely with all responses and paperwork and thoroughly professional. Sean also brought a great sense of humor to the process which kept our whole team smiling throughout the project delivery. I give him my highest recommendation.

The Story

I have been a professional voice artist since 2006 (wait, people pay me for this?) but my history extends further than that. As a child, I was known as “Radio Man” for the articulate, listenable qualities within my voice. I don’t know any other kid who took quite so much pleasure in standing up and reading out loud “Tikki Tikki Tembo” or “Bunnicula” for their class.

This lead to an early pursuit of performing and I performed for nearly a decade with the prog rock band Divided Sky as vocalist and guitar player. I have expanded my abilities into on-camera acting, appearing in numerous commercials and films including M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Last Airbender”. I was even fortunate enough to act in and choreograph the combat sequences in “Le Meduse Rouge”.

I continue to grow, develop and refine my talents in an ongoing effort to find fulfillment by drinking of my creative well. I also train in several martial arts and do my best despite the lure of my bed and apple pie to stay in excellent physical shape.

Studio

I work out of my own studio, which is located within my home. This requires extreme discipline and a full closet of business professional pajamas. “The Legendary Studio Surprise” has a laundry list of quality gear since one of its other purposes has been to record bands and musicians. For the purpose of voice over work, the following gear is typically employed:

  •  Neumann TLM-103 condenser microphone – a studio classic, its character works well with the quality of my voice, and is simply perfect for almost any voice over duty. Articulate, clear, warm and full, it’s a solid choice.
  • Sennheiser MKH 416 – What’s not to love about the “L.A. mic”? Commercial copy and narration sit perfectly in the mix.
  • Avalon VT-737sp Preamp/Channel Strip – an award winning preamp found in almost any studio worth its salt. Everyone from Michael Jackson to AC/DC have used this unit on their recordings. Big, warm, organic tube character pairs with the Neumann TLM-103 perfectly.
  • Cubase Audio Production Software – Flexible and powerful, I also have quite a collection of plug-ins and additional software.
  • ISDN – Telos Zephyr and Telos Zephyr Xstream
  • My Voice – Certainly the most important part of the entire signal chain and something that you won’t find anywhere else. Versatile, entertaining and environmentally friendly unless tired or cranky. Its supplemented with years of training, performance and practice to keep it in top shape!
