Tom Daniels grew up as the oldest of three brothers born in McKeesport, PA.

He was fascinated with sound from an early age. At seven he realized that removing the 4" speaker from his portable record player and mounting it in the bottom of a coffee can would produce a much richer sound. While others were beginning their experimentation with Psychedelics, thus began his first explorations into the field of Psychoacoustics. 

Tom bought his first reel to reel tape recorder at ten, and soon figured out how to wire it directly to the pre-amplifier of the family stereo system and later, his dad’s portable radio.

Upon graduation from high school, Tom entered Penn State University, majoring in Speech and Communications. His professional career began at WBLF, Bellefonte, PA, while Tom was completing his studies at Penn State. It was there that he learned the art of the interpretive read. A sixty second commercial spot, scheduled five times an hour, had to be read live, 25 times per show, six days a week for months on end, but there was only one script!

Tom jokingly recalls, “Out of sheer boredom, I had to find different ways to deliver that copy in order to keep my sanity. There’s no doubt in my mind that the combination of Miller’s National Pride Tastee-Freeze, ARCO station, Car Wash and Laundromat (All operating out of the same cash register.) are indelibly burned into the brains of any Central Pennsylvanian listener who may still be alive. (Most were over 65 at the time and I’m almost 100% sure they were tuning in for the 4 o’clock obituaries and not my witty banter or the Rock’n Roll records.)"

"That script eventually earned me my B.A. in B.S.. ", said Tom while putting on his best poker face.  "Now my eyes could have been playing tricks on me, but when I walked across that stage in “Rec” Hall and received my actual degree from Penn State.. I could have sworn that piece of copy was printed right there on the back of my diploma.”

Tom’s sense of humor, distinctive voice and unique style quickly gained him recognition as a personality and voice talent. His voice is powerful, distinctive and authoritative. It literally jumps out of the pack. Similarly, his impeccable production has gained him the respect of his peers within the industry.

In the years that followed, Tom continued to develop his vocal delivery and production skills, specializing in Creative Imaging. He also served as Production and/or Creative Director for eight different broadcast groups.  He started Tom Daniels Productions in 1981. Tom Daniels Multimedia Productions is a natural progression of that experience.
