About Roy Worley
-
For the past 12 years, Roy has been voicing stories for brands like Tiffany & Co, Firestone, Pizza Hut, Wilson Golf Balls, and more. In addition, he has narrated over 270 audiobooks. He loves narrating family-friendly novels, and his favorite genre is westerns. Roy also enjoys supplying companies with smooth, clear-sounding recordings for their Interactive Voice Recordings for their office phone systems.
At age 55, Roy found it necessary to supplement his income and began researching the voice-over industry. Being a total creative, Roy fell in love with the idea of telling others "stories." After a lot of work and investment of time, talent, and dollars, he secured a professional website complete with professionally produced demos for potential clients to hear what he can do. It has not been an easy road, and at times it has been discouraging and disappointing when he didn't land that great gig he was hoping for. But that's the same as any job, right? Right now, he is working on the narration of a great Christian novel called The Pardon by author Rodney Powell.
