In 2010, I recorded a Youtube video of me doing a scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back as Darth Vader. I was recording for fun. Two years later, an ad consultant named Dan Held saw that video and requested that I voice Vader again for a Corporate Event called Crop Wars for a company called AGCO. He passed my information along to the producer of the event named PJ Frenkel, who arranged for the studio time.

ADM Productions was the marketing firm AGCO had consulted, and they generously paid me to do the corporate event. Later in 2011, a representative from Dartmouth University in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada asked me to voice Darth Vader once again, for a presentation at a sports banquet, again with a Star Wars theme. It was for the Dartmouth Endurance Event on July 1st, 2012. March of this year, an independent firm called Bat in the Sun asked me to voice Darth Vader for a video short on Youtube, along with two other independent entities, one from the United Kingdom called Bodo Productions, and another from Greece, in a non-profit capacity.
I have no formal voice over training, but I have done a considerable amount of public speaking at churches, retirement banquets and even a Fathers' Day event. I have recorded songs and done voice overs on musical tracks, but nothing formal.
