Christmas magic with added pazzazz
If you want to enchant the little ones, mesmerise the believers and delight the list-writers, look no further. No one can conjure up the magic of Christmas like the Voice Acting Magician.
What could be better for your Christmas project than someone who sounds exactly like the leading man? Answer – someone who looks and sounds exactly like Father Christmas.
That’s right. When it comes to Santa, only one person can play the role. Richard Crossman has been reprising Santa Claus for more years than the big man would care to remember. Thousands of children have been bewitched by the man in red’s white beard, prestigious costume, and unmistakable tone, transported from reality into a place of mystical delight.
Naturally, not everyone can have a personal appearance by the man himself. However, you can have a recorded message or video guaranteed to amaze and delight in the run-up to the festive season.
Enthralled by Christmas from a young age, Richard brings that wide-eye wonder to every project, ensuring that each listener is swept up in the spirit of the season and left in no doubt about the power of Christmas magic.
