Keeping It Real For Real Results

With over 25 years on the air, my voice has been a trusted companion for countless radio listeners.

I bring a warm and friendly tone that instantly connects with audiences, making them feel at ease and engaged. My experience in radio has honed my ability to deliver content with clarity and articulation, ensuring every word is heard and understood. I possess a versatile and dynamic range, capable of shifting from a smooth and soothing narrative for audiobooks to an energetic and enthusiastic pitch perfect for commercials and promos.

My voice carries an authoritative and confident presence, ideal for corporate narrations and documentary work, while also being able to adopt a conversational and relatable style for e-learning and IVR systems. My deep and resonant tone adds gravitas to trailers and impactful promos.

I am eager to bring my professional and polished delivery to new projects, leveraging my extensive background to create compelling and memorable voiceovers.

I have a broadcast quality in-home recording studio with Source-Connect, which allows me a fast turnaround on most projects.

I am also available for Live directed sessions on:

My story

TV was not for me.

I launched my media career in the 1980s, looking to find fame and fortune in television sports.

For the better part of 12 years, I carved out a nice career for myself, getting a chance to cover championship games in football and basketball, as well as reporting live from the World Series.

Along the way, my work was recognized by my peers with numerous awards and accolades, but there was something missing.

It didn’t feel real.

Too much of my TV existence was being manufactured by paid consultants whose obsession with style came at the expense of substance. It was all about looking and sounding a certain way, according to tried and true focus group approved formulas.

After a dozen years of playing their game, I finally reached my breaking point and walked away.

That’s when I stumbled across a shining oasis in the media desert - radio.

From day one on the air I felt liberated, energized, and most important - authentic.

For the past 25 years, I’ve tried to incorporate those attributes into everything I do professionally, including my own talent platform - Jeff Harkness Voices.

If you’re tired of contrived and cookie cutter talent, let’s work together to keep it real for real results for you and your business.
