ABOUT
April Watts was a Corporate Security Investigator for over 25 years and possesses an "investigative instinct" that enables her to magnify a voice-over script, see the bigger picture and develop a back story. That's how April developed the tagline for her brand "Magnifying Your Story with My Voice". This background also makes April an SME when it comes to voicing security-related content because she lived it! April's voice has been featured in several training videos related to Workplace Violence, Harassment, Retail Security, Robbery Awareness, Emergency Preparedness, and Ethics in the Workplace for various local law enforcement agencies and corporations.
April also uses the Super Power of her voice to encourage & inspire others by hosting a weekly radio segment “The Nuggets of Knowledge” on her husband's radio show. April exercises her public speaking chops regularly as a member of Toastmasters International and can be found hamming it up at weekly Improv classes. April gives back using her voice as a volunteer for MindsEye the Virtual Newsstand by translating vision into audio as a Reader & Audio Description Writer & Narrator for people experiencing blindness & low vision.
April’s voice cuts through the mix and creates a sense of trust, honesty, integrity, and connection for her clients. April welcomes the opportunity to lend her voice to your Audio Description, Children’s Audio Book, Commercial, Documentary, Dubbing, eLearning/Explainer Video, K12 Learning, Live Announcer, Narration, Political Spot, PSA, Telephony (IVR or MOH), Trailer, or other voice over project.
