About Ralph
Ralph's voice is adaptable to a range of projects. It is moderately deep and professional, which works well for corporate narrations, documentaries and audio or video presentations. It can convey energy and excitement for commercials and promos. It can convey passion and strong emotion when necessary. It is the voice of a storyteller. His Midwestern voice has been likened to that of Ken Burns, John Chancellor or David McCullough.
For 20 years, he has worked as an on-air talent handling newscasts, business news and medical journals for Radio Talking Book Network. Ralph currently narrates and produces two 29 minute broadcasts, and co-anchors a live, two-hour newscast each week for RTB Network.
Ralph has 35 years of experience working as President and CEO of Midlands Choice and as a senior executive for The Nebraska Methodist Health System.
Ralph has extensive experience in the pronunciation of medical terminology. Laparascopic cholecystectomy and cholangiography, nephrectomy, linear accelerator, coronary microvascular disease, simvastatin, myocardial infarction and carotid endarterectomy roll off his tongue.
Ralph has a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and a Master of Business Administration degree, both earned at Creighton University. In the voice field, he's taken audio book production training from Chicago's Bill DeWees, and worked with him as a voice-over coach. He has also done audiobook training with Marc Cashman in Los Angeles.
When he's not recording, Ralph serve as volunteer for the Mid-America Council Boy Scouts and has served as camp director for Camp Cedars, the Council's premier Scouts BSA resident camp.
