FORT HUACHUCA, AZ, February 17, 2012 – – In 1877, when Colonel A. V. Kautz, Commander of the Department of Arizona, ordered Captain Samuel M. Whitside and two troops of the 6th Cavalry to travel to southeastern Arizona in order to select a site for a new outpost, the Colonel never could have imagined that he was laying the foundation for what is today one of America’s most critical installations within the Department of Defense — Fort Huachuca.

When the U.S. Army commissioned a documentary to share the amazing history of Fort Huachuca with military personnel and honored guests, it was agreed that veteran voice over talent Peter K. O’Connell would serve as the video’s narrator, telling one of the most interesting and significant stories in the history of the United States Army and Military Intelligence.

What began as Camp Huachuca, a central outpost during the Indian Wars of the late 19th Century, has today become one of the most critical installations in the Department of Defense. Fort Huachuca is the home of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and the U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM)/9th Army Signal Command. Fort Huachuca is also the headquarters of Army Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS), the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) and the Electronic Proving Ground (EPG). Libby Army Airfield is also located on post.

The video was produced by Eagle Video Productions Inc., a nationally and internationally recognized full service video production company based in Raleigh, NC.

In addition this most recent documentary narration for the U.S. Army, Mr. O’Connell’s professional voiceover credits include national and regional voiceover productions for companies such as PBS (Public Broadcasting Service), Shell Oil, Starz Cable Channel, SunSetter Awnings, Time Warner Cable, New Jersey Tourism, J. Walter Thompson Advertising, Cleveland Browns, Harlequin Enterprises and Pathmark Supermarkets.

O’Connell’s voiceover talents have been heard around the world in retail commercials for radio and TV, medical narrations, infomercials, political commercial voiceovers, TV network promos, e-learning narration projects (computer-based training, internet-based training and web-based training), public service announcements, message on-hold as well as other video and media productions.

Comments Off on MEDIA RELEASE – U.S. Army Recruits O’Connell as the Voice for Fort Huachuca Documentary

BUFFALO, NY, October 3, 2011 – – The Board of Directors of the World Wide Web sent a congratulatory letter today to Voice Talent Peter K. O’Connell, owner of audio’connell Voice Over Talent, in recognition of his company’s long anticipated, completely redesigned and upgraded web site (audioconnell.com). It is highly unusual for the imaginatively based organization to issue such commendation, especially on paper.

In the letter, Board President Juan Francisco Keedingly noted that the voiceover company’s remodeled site makes outstanding use of everything the Internet offers to users, except for any Groupon-like features. “Where are the coupons?” Keedingly noted in his letter.

Observing that it was “completely unbelievable” that his company would get any attention for a freshly redesigned web site much less an actual letter from the World Wide Web itself, O’Connell was just pleased somebody noticed.

“The true goal of the new site was to ensure clients and visitors had a more informative and enjoyable experience no matter what device they found the site with” O’Connell said. “Four years ago the i-Phone and i-Pad weren’t around and Social Media wasn’t as prevalent as it is today. The new audioconnell.com web site now integrates all those tools and platforms together seamlessly,” O’Connell said.

As the home to Male Voice Talent Peter K. O’Connell, audio’connell Voice Over Talent voiceover productions have been heard around the world in retail commercials for radio and TV, medical narrations, infomercials, political commercial voiceovers, TV network promos, radio station imaging, e-learning narration projects (computer-based training, internet-based training and web-based training), public service announcements, message on-hold as well as other video and media productions.

LONDON, Ontario, Canada, January 10, 2011 – – Sampling has been a necessary tool for most businesses throughout history and the same is true today for voice actors who audition for jobs by providing an audio sample of a script for clients. If the client likes their audition, the voice over talent gets hired for the project. With so many people auditioning for the same job, however, the key point of difference is how to best prepare and properly execute the voice over audition.

Voice Over Workshop owner and professional voice talent Peter K. O’Connell (also known as the Voice Over Consigliere) shared his professional insight on voice over auditions in the recently released Voices.com podcast “Voice Over Experts”. O’Connell’s episode was titled “The First :15 Seconds” and explained why it’s important for a voice over demo to establish the tonality of a script, the sell, and the relationship with the listener within the first fifteen seconds of an audition.

“The truth is voice talents have at most fifteen seconds to truly grab a producer’s ear and a casting agent’s attention,” said O’Connell, who has been recognized by Voices.com as one of North America’s top voice over coaches and voice talents. The podcast can be heard at http://podcasts.voices.com/voiceoverexperts/.

Voices.com is the voice over industry’s leading website that connects businesses with professional voice talent. Clients that have worked with Voices.com include NBC, ESPN, PBS, The History Channel, Reader’s Digest, Comcast, Nortel Networks, Bell Canada, Microsoft, Cisco Systems, ING, Western Union, Ford, GM, Jaguar, Firestone Tires, American Airlines, the US Army, the US Government and thousands more.

Peter K. O’Connell owns Voice Over Workshop, which provides professional voice over training to novice and experienced voice talent world-wide. A professional voice talent since 1982, some of Mr. O’Connell’s professional voiceover credits include productions for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), Shell Oil, Starz Cable Channel, Time Warner Cable, New Jersey Tourism, J. Walter Thompson Advertising, Cleveland Browns, Harlequin Enterprises, and Pathmark Supermarkets. O’Connell’s voiceover skills have been heard world wide in retail commercials for radio and TV, medical narrations, infomercials, e-learning narration projects (computer-based training, internet-based training or web-based training) political commercial voiceovers, TV network promos, public service announcements, as well as other video productions.

O’Connell also owns audio’connell Voice Over Talent is a worldwide, English language-based voice talent business. The company provides voice talent for commercials, animation, corporate narrations, documentaries, broadcast voice imaging, audio books and messaging on-hold. Founded in 1982, world-wide industries served by the audio’connell include advertising agencies, media and broadcast production companies as well as both large and small businesses. Sister company International Voice Talents provides similar services, using professional foreign language male and female voice actors.
