Unique Atlanta Business Created By Local British Man With Talent

Online, September 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Neil Scott-Barbour, Atlanta resident since 1987, developed a business providing unique entertainment to senior care communities.

While growing up in England, Neil took elocution and acting lessons but never became the actor he hoped to be. After being downsized several times, he has created a niche service: expressively reads, also known as voice acting, for residents of independent, assisted living and memory care communities throughout metro Atlanta.

Some years ago, after several of his co-workers and friends suggested he use his authentic and distinctive British voice for recorded messaging or voiceover work, he produced a short audio demo and subsequently received several voice messaging contracts. Upon losing his job in June of 2009, he established his own business, marketing his voice talents. Having been in the special event industry for many years, not only did he get some contract work for voiceovers, webinars, promotional and training videos, but also a number of live master of ceremonies bookings.

After taking a specialized voice-over course, he volunteered with the Georgia Radio Reading Service, which broadcasts the printed word for Georgia's blind, visually impaired and print disabled. Out of this rewarding service grew his passion to share his voice and gift with a broader market, namely seniors living in all types of senior care communities. The folks at the Georgia Radio Reading Service supported his idea and helped produce a promotional CD.

Neil uses many different voices and accents - plus a range of facial expressions and lots of physical movement when reading humorous and serious poetry, short stories, famous quotations and more, to audiences.

Recently, he was hired to emcee a seniors' fashion show, narrate the trailer to a senior community movie, and is scheduled to appear at several local Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas events.
