Robert Rue - Actor and Voice Over Talent

Q: Where do you record?
A: I record predominantly in professional studios, including audioEngine|west, Big U Music, Gardiner Media, Great Scott, HeadPop Studios, Hunnicutt Recording, Insight Productions, Illuma Studios, Show-N-Tell and a few others. Each offers state of the art recording and editing equipment, as well as highly skilled audio engineers. In 2005, I installed a small home studio for a variety of projects including commercials, e-learning, web tutorials, home tours for my television show and on-holds.

Q: What kind of Voice projects do you work on?
A: Each year seems to offer new opportunities for voice work. Along with commercials, infomercials, e-learning, industrials and the like, 2006 offers fresh challenges. They include radio imaging for an FM station, character voices, emcee projects for several non-profit agencies, web tutorials and more. It’s exciting and fun to be involved with everything that comes my way.

Q: How about On-Camera projects?
A: Several years ago I would have declined an on-camera assignment. However, in 2005 a few interesting projects were sent my way that I truly enjoyed working on. They included my first short film, The Netherbeast of Bermtech Industries (Best Director at the Phoenix Film Festival as well as garnering accolades in other competition). Another opportunity came forth as I was cast in my first feature film role in The Controller to be released in 2007. I also appeared in several commercials including Fort McDowell Casino, Ashley Furniture, Sands Chevrolet and my favorite, “Extreme Methover” as a 1970’s game show host. Industrial, sales and educational videos were also added to my resumé last year.

Q: Do you write scripts?
A: No, there are plenty of qualified professionals that can do a better job than me. I will certainly make every effort to assist you with your script and deliver a read which captures the spirit and message you wish to convey. I am not a scriptwriter, although on occasion I seem to be.

Q: Do you enjoy your work?
A: Yes, yes, yes! Each day offers new opportunities and challenges to deliver a message in a special way; to inform, to sell, to instruct, to teach, to communicate thoughts, words, feelings and emotion to a specialized audience. There’s no better words to hear than “that’s a wrap,” which means you’ve accomplished what you were chosen to deliver and convey. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else and look forward to every day.
