My Story
Darryl Akens has always been fascinated with imitating voices since the early age of 3 years old, especially deep voices. As he grew older he started imitated the likes of John Facenda, the narrator for NFL films; Eddie Barth, the voice over for Lite Beer from Miller commercials as well as James Earl Jones and Paul Robeson. Darryl is a very versatile and multi-talented Voice Over Artist. His voice range is phenomenal! His natural deep baritone voice can be soothing to listen to where he can imitate the voice of Morgan Freeman or even Peter Cullen's voice for Optimus Prime. He has also been told that he sounds like John Fontaine, the movie trailer Voice Over Artist and Christopher Judge, the Voice Over Artist from the video game "The God of War." But in a quick second he can change from a baritone voice to a high-pitched voice to imitate cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse. Yes, he can imitate all these voices and many more! He can even sing using his own voice or sing in character as well. He has been told that he can sing spot on when imitating Nat King Cole, Jack Jones and many other famous singers. He has narrated a Monster Jam Promo for the 2021 Series Championship, but he can do it all - Animation, Audiobooks, Documentaries, eLearning, Movie Trailers, Online Ads, Radio Ads, Television Ads, Video Games and Video Narrations.
