Hold Time Studios is a family-owned and operated company based in Portland, Oregon – so we’re all about driving in the rain (read here: all-weather radials and Rain-X) for seven months out of the year, and we had temperamental cars in college that spent a lot of time at the automotive repair shop, so we know what it takes to engage your cranky customers, as many others.
Hold Time started as a research paper in graduate school; then armed with an M.B.A. and Masters in Music – Hold Time has found its way into hundreds of phone systems large, and small around the country. We’re very proud of our company, and grateful for our clients, which include more than just automotive customers, but just about every industry out there.
We’re not a large company and, so far, we don’t want to be. What we have in Hold Time is a great life, affirming to us that “Good Things Come to Those Who Wait.”
Patrick
Patrick
Friendly, positive, and warm with really good phrasing. When he first started the business, he sold his Tundra, and bought a Civic CX – no power steering, no power nothing. Graduating from the Honda Civic to a Toyota Echo to a Scion, and …now he has a nicer car, thankfully. A favorite male voice with just about everybody, except monster truck rallies. Patrick is a triathlete. Read about what Patrick is doing outside the studio in our local paper here!
If you want to get Patrick talking, ask him about Music, Triathlons, or Business… he’s always game for a good conversation!
Lisa
Lisa
Feminine and business-professional, Lisa is a favorite with financial firms, and the medical industry… we tease her about being the “botox girl”. She drives as Hyundai Sonata with car seats in the back.
Lisa is all about being a mom, but comes by the studio every day to lay down tracks for customer’s that only want her on their phone system.
Wendy
Wendy
Cute and flirty, with a voice as clear as a bell. Wendy did our all-time favorite voice-over: Mr. Rooter “Action Figures”. We still laugh about it… you can hear it in our sample section by clicking here.
Other voices
There are other options for voice-overs, but they live elsewhere and are contracted for one project at a time. Expect to pay $150 to $200 extra. Your project manager can send you samples.
