Voice Over Work
Robert W. Walker is a Grammy-nominated Writer/Director/Editor whose range of
experience has tied his name to the names of music legends -- from Shakira
to Sophia Loren, Sting to Gloria Estefan. From entertainment to advertising,
Walker's experience make him one of the most qualified creative forces in
the world today. His 15 years as broadcast director for one of the country's
largest, most prolific advertising agencies resulted in producing hundreds
of local, regional and national commercials. As owner of a world-class
recording studio, and partner in a high-energy creative production company,
he has been a creator of all things visual/aural: memorable spot campaigns,
big-impact sales films, music videos, infomercials, documentaries, and
television shows and specials.
Walker began his media career while still in high school, when he landed a
job as the youngest on-air personality ever on the #1-rated radio station in
his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Within a year, while his radio show
attracted incredible ratings, and at only 17 years of age, was off on a
lifelong odyssey in the entertainment and media design business.
Worldwide recognition of his talents has been prolific: he shared with his
partner, Mo Fitzgibbon, in Walker/Fitzgibbon TV & Films the prestigious
National Council of La Raza (NCLR) Bravo Award for "Outstanding
Made-for-Television Documentary" for their work on the biopic Intimate
Portrait: Gloria Estefan. The duo won the New York Festival's WorldMedal for
their editorial and design work on Gloria Estefan's classic music video for
Reach, the official theme song of the 1996 Summer Olympics.
NARAS -- the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, with which
Walker has been associated since his early days -- nominated Walker for a
Grammy Award in 1999, for his creative direction and production work on
Gloria Estefanšs worldwide DVD release entitled Don't Stop.
Walker reflects on his record to date: "Awards, peer recognition, happy
clients -- these are glittering highlights in a career whose personal value
to me is its ability to satisfy an extreme creative urge that has driven me
since childhood, and blessed me with a fulfilling way to add to this world
some measure of beauty, fun, knowledge or, at the very least, amusement of a
sort, all the while providing for my family."
