The Cosmic Voice
Welcome to C.C. Petersen’s voice-over demo page! I’ve worked on a variety of projects — from short- and long-form pieces to games, radio plays, and software packages. Recent clients include MIT Haystack Observatory, The Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Astrocast.TV, Software Bisque (for their “Seeker” product), Antares Fulldome (Barcelona, Spain,) and my own company — Loch Ness Productions.
