There are two things I love about Dan Hurst.
First is his amazing voice range. He never fails to deliver the exact voice style that we need.
The second thing is that if we need him in L.A. or N.Y. or wherever, he'll jump on a plane and meet us! We can depend on him!
From birds to Thunderbird's... that voice can sell EVERYTHING!!!
If you have not already worked with Dan Hurst in your bilingual marketing plans, I would like to introduce you to him. Cutting through all the usual "motherhood and apple pie" about him being professional and talented, I would like to emphasize his self-motivated nature. He is a born communicator, meaning that it's not only about talking, but about sharing thoughts and feelings in two directions. With apologies to the folkloric notion of a cat landing on its feet regardless of how it falls, so too Dan will always land "on message". He has the inner drive to find the message, wrap it up and deliver it with the flourish, or tact, called for. His flawless transition between English and Spanish is about more than knowing two spoken word systems, it is about understanding the deeper sensibilities that are the foundation of a language. That's something that money can't buy, and Dan adds that God given bonus for free.
Dan is a true professional. His diction, timber and styling will save 99% of the mundane, poorly written, often unintelligible copy that is shoved in front of him. I would know, I've called Dan to save my miserable copy for years. I overheard someone say, "… well if Dan Hurst isn't available, get me someone that sounds like Dan Hurst." That in my eyes is a true compliment.
I've worked with several Spanish voice over talent for broadcast to Latin America at Fox Sports International, and what I found in Daniel Eduardo (aka Dan Hurst) is that he was not only flexible with the scripted translation, but he also provided valuable feedback based on the target audience. We were able to make adjustments during the recording session and, ultimately, enhance the overall video experience. Dan's bilingual abilities are invaluable. I would recommend using his talents for any projects that require both English and Spanish communication.
Dan Hurst is a consummate professional and terrific talent. Easy to work with, a wonderful attitude and a resource that will always go the extra mile for a client's needs. He is a real throw-back to the days when people understood and practiced the meaning of "relationship".
