Lou is from Pennsylvania. Growing up in the Philadelphia area, he was exposed to tons of great radio. At night, he’d listen in to broadcasts from distant cites: New York, Chicago, Cleveland and Boston. Lou attended Montgomery County Community College and Penn State.

Lou Kolb has worked continuously in commercial radio since 1973 including stints at: WYLC, WSQV, WWPA, WKSB KISS-FM and WBYL.

Lou's spots have run regionally through his work with ad agencies located throughout Pennsylvania and Maryland. Here what some folks who have hired Lou in the past said when we asked them for a reference:

In the Advertising Agency business we are in a constant battle to make our clients advertising stand out and be heard above the "noise". Finding the right voice is often a problem. Some voices appeal to a younger crowd, some appeal mainly to women, and some, well quite frankly shouldn't be in the voice over business at all. The unique thing about Lou is his voice and delivery are truly mass appeal. He has
command of his craft and understands what it takes to get the message heard and remembered (and isn't that what it's all about).

 As a matter of fact he has done such a good job for Adstrategies, we have one client, a computer retail operation in Delaware, who refuses to use anybody but him on their commercials. If you are considering using voice over talent, I highly, highly recommend Lou.

 Lou is a pleasure to work with. No hypertensive crisis results from retakes. He's willing to put in prep time before the session--a  rarity among narrators! I highly commend and recommend him.

In my over 22 years experience in the audio production and radio
industries I have met few voice talents as professional, versatile and dependable as Lou Kolb.

I have worked with Lou since 1985 and he never ceases to amaze me with his ability to communicate a script. Lou's rich and voice and ability
to communicate one to one with his audience is incredible.
