Joel Pelletier Voiceover Demo (6.8MB MP3)

Open wide, this may be a little uncomfortable...

As the Mid-Century photographer in The Cheerleader's music video

As the "Chessmaster" beaten by his grand daughter in the 2019 Marriott Bonvoy ad (video below),
directed by French master and AMELIE and ALIEN: RESSURECTION (my fav Alien film) director Jean-Pierre Jeunet,
and photographed by Academy Award winning DP Janusz Kaminski (quite an experience, albiet very quick).
A pleasure to watch them work so effortlessly.

Some stills as the teacher (and bad dancer) from STONED ON EASTER by Matt Jaffe & The Distractions (video below). I get in touch with my inner David Byrne for some dance moves

I have created a voiceover audio demo, featuring some reading, some acting, some voices, and comedic threads (most improv).
I grew up listening to Firesign Theatre, National Lampoon Radio Hour and Monty Python, which can't help but
infringe on what I suppose should be a "standard voiceover demo" - whatever that is.

I am a rather surreal therapist in Melisa Hensley's 2024 short THE POINT, a film about a rather surreal therapy session.

Speaking of therapy, I have played a number of therapists, doctors and surgeons, with a variety of outcomes. Looking forward to doing this more...

In this 2024 promo for Sacramento International Airport, I play a patient (this time) in another therapy session.

November 2020 ad for Banfield Pet Hospitals, not a stretch for me in ANY way.

2020 ad for Dallas Pets Alive, a pet rescue/adoption org.

In this 2015 REELZ series premier I am "DR. FEELGOOD" Dr. Max Jacobson, the renowned physician and drug pusher.
I do love doing period stuff (esp. 1950's-60's), and I supplied all my own vintage wardrobe.

Here a rough edit of a short film "Los Angeles Immigration" with me as the "Immigration Officer":

Here's a 2018 ad for Kendall Motor Oil where I get in touch with my inner Stingray.

Back in 2014 I shot a short entitled SORRY TO BUG YOU from director Martin Rivera, about a recluse model train builder encountering computer animated bugs.
As with some projects, this one has never been completed (as far as I know), which is a shame. These are two short animation tests from the film.
