This is an excerpt from the amazing course, "In The Footsteps Of Vincent Van Gogh"! This documentary is absolutely fascinating! I know I am a bit biased, but it truly is such a detailed account of Van Gogh's life journey. I had the honor to play the part of Vincent, as his voice. Throughout the series, Vincent has much correspondence with his brother, Theo. Thanks for listening and please check out the course on TheGreatCourses.com!
This was a commercial spot I recently voiced for the amazing product, Tractive!
An alternate version of the spot I had the pleasure of voicing last season for Pizza Hut, which aired on Spotify and National Radio!
“testimonials”
Mike Cantrell is a SUPERB VOICE TALENT and a DELIGHT TO WORK WITH. Among others, he was stellar in playing Vincent van Gogh, based on his letters, for our recent series “In the Footsteps of Vincent van Gogh.” He is a PROFESSIONAL WITH A FINE STUDIO OF HIS OWN. I can warmly recommend him.
Prof. Jean-Pierre Isbouts - Author, Historian, Filmmaker
I ASKED MIKE FOR A CONVERSATIONAL READ of 10 eLearning courses ranging from 20 to 60 minutes in length, and BOY DID HE DELIVER! I normally record my own voice over, however, I trusted Mike to take this off my plate. Having Mike record the voice over let me focus on other launch tasks, HELPING ENSURE A SOLID, TIMELY PRODUCT. I appreciated that Mike's biggest concern was making sure I got the read that was best for my product. He was OPEN TO FEEDBACK AND DIRECTION, and even FINISHED THE PROJECT EARLIER THAN ANTICIPATED!
Amanda Kizer - Principal Consultant Kizer Learning and Performance Consulting
Mike is a team player in the sense that HE WORKS WITH HIS CLIENTS, INSTEAD OF JUST FOR THEM. I appreciated the fact that he moved along with the project, and when there was a question, we discussed the best way to go forward. He always had great ideas about how to proceed with an idea. He was a great fit for our project and was EXTREMEMLY VERSITILE when it was needed. If you’re looking for a professional with the talents you need then work with Mike, you’ll be glad you did.

PASSION… What’s yours? Ever since I can remember, while growing up in the Pacific Northwest, MY PASSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN PEOPLE. Talking with people, learning from people, relating with people, and especially performing for people. I caught the “acting bug” pretty early and joined every production possible from a young kid, through my time in high school. I loved performing, becoming different characters, and playing my part in the most relatable way I could for the audience.
After becoming a father at a very early age in high school, I had to focus all of my time and energy on raising my family. While I still was auditioning here and there, I didn’t have the extra time to invest to fully pursuing my calling. Although, many directors over the years did ask if I ever considered VOICEOVER as well, saying it would be a good fit for me. While I absolutely did consider it, I mostly took it in stride. Over the years, I have had a multitude of different jobs, WORKING WITH, AND AROUND MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE.
Fast forward to present day...I still reside in the greater Seattle area, my children are grown and I have the time, energy, and drive to dedicate myself to my own path. I have submerged myself in coaching and training, and most importantly, my Passion is stronger than ever! I HAVE TRULY FOUND MY VOICE. When I say passion, I mean, I PUT ALL OF MY ENERGY AND EXPERIENCE INTO EACH AND EVERY PROJECT. My life experience, drive, and Imagination are some of my most powerful tools.
Whether you need a Commercial, Narration, eLearning Project, Corporate Narration, Animation, Video Game, or ANY project that requires the Right Voice (big or small!), just give me a listen. I HAVE THE UNIQUE, smooth, relatable, believable, human voice, with a mid-age range, friendly voice. With a vast variety of voices for animation as well! ALL OF MY WORK CAN BE DONE FROM MY PROFESSIONAL, BROADCAST QUALITY HOME STUDIO. I HAVE A QUICK TURN AROUND, CAN TAKE DIRECTION, AND AM SUPER EASY TO WORK WITH.
All of my focused energy and talent will go in to your project. Every time. That’s what I mean when I say, “YOUR PROJECT ~ MY PASSION”.
Cheers!
