Bill has been a voice talent for over two decades heard around the world in tv and radio imaging, narration, animation, concert tour promos, commercials, video games and business projects. He was the signature voice of the NFL, MLB, MLS and other properties on DAZN, the Netflix of sports, for their launch and inaugural two years in Canada.

In Manchester, England he’s a shareholder and the imaging voice of rock and metal station Primordial Radio. His imaging for London’s Teamrock Radio won honours at the UK Radio Academy Awards. He won a Juno Award in 2015 as narrator on Ziltoid 2, Devin Townsend’s concept metal album. Other award winning projects have taken home prizes at the U.S. Film and Video Festival, Banff Television Festival Awards and the Canadian Screen Awards.

For over a decade, the voice of CTV British Columbia, and for twelve years and counting the voice of CTV Manitoba, he was the national voice of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games for Sportsnet and the Olympic consortium of stations. He’s the narrator on tv shows Yukon Gold, Crime Stories, Legend Hunters and Uncharted Canada as well as the documentary The Bridge which was held over at VIFF.

He created seven original voices for characters on Lego’s Legends of Chima tv series over its two seasons. He’s recently voiced national US spots for Ziplock and Infinity Wars, six characters for the ongoing Alpine Credit radio campaign and ads for Best Buy, Bodog, Cariboo Beer, Kawasaki, Happy Water, Mr Mikes and countless others.

After years as a radio jock and talkshow host doing freelance voicework on the side, Bill stepped away from broadcast and into the voice world full time.

Welcome To The Radio Side

Hello to you once again if we’ve been friends through my shows over the years on The Fox, Rock 101 and Mojo Radio – Talk radio for guys. I pulled a thirty year shift on the radio, experienced countless profoundly memorable moments and so many of them were shared with you. We became radio friends. Maybe you were driving for a living or listening at work. The good hearted who could hear one of their own on the air.

That’s all I ever aspired to be. One of us with a radio show. I’d talk about my good friends and family and in a way they’d become yours. You’d call and tell me your tales. And characters would appear out of nowhere to become a part of our world. I’d come do my show in your backyard with a live band and sometimes we’d go fly fishing together on one of The Tour de Trouts.

Radio doesn’t owe me a thing. I had an outstanding time. I walked away over a decade ago directly into a full time voice business.

One of my clients is a cool rock and metal outfit in the UK called Primordial Radio. I’m their station voice and occasionally they invite me to jump in and host a radio show as part of a fundraiser or just for fun. It’s with their blessing I offer you links to those shows here at billcourage.com. So thank you to good Winnipeg kid Hugh “Moose” Evans, who’s killin it in England running Primordial, his wingers Ross Dewsbury, Pete Bailey, J Rock and the rest for inviting me to the party and allowing me to share it with you.

Tell your friends, spread the word, we play what we want to play and say what we want to say. These people are freaks. I fit right in. They’re offering three months free for you to check them out at primordialradio.com by the way. Meantime, my shows are free to you thanks to their generosity. They’re two hour shows, no commercials. Just some personal fav classics blended in with face melters and a few stories. Click on the links, turn it up and giver. Enjoy!
