Originally Tim lived in the Midwest and went to college in Omaha. For 10+ years Tim worked in every aspect of the Construction Industry. Although he was very successful, this industry was not his true calling in life. His career shift found him after trying improv and taking VO classes. Out of all the genres of VO, Audiobooks & E-Learning then became two of Tim's greatest passions. When he's not in the studio talking to himself, you can find Tim and his Wife at the dog park or beach playing fetch with their boys Reggie and Oscar.
Ever since he played his first video game, Storytelling has been at the heart of Tim Ratliff's life. His absolute joy and passion in this world... is bringing stories to life. With his smooth, weathered, hypnotic baritone voice and versatile range Tim's performance transports the listener to THAT moment in time of the story. Tim's FAVORITE types of stories range from Edge of your seat, Listen with the lights ON heart pounding Suspense to Epic and Magnificent Worlds filled with Magic, High Stakes, RPG Concepts, and a sidekick/group banter for hilarious comic relief......and many in between. As a narrator, there's nothing like the feeling of lifting ideas, places, characters, and human emotions off the page for the listeners to experience. Nothing throughout life truly connects one human to another like Stories...It's literally magic and we all could use more of that authenticity, wonder, and human connection these days.
