Voice Description

I consider myself very fortunate to have have been blessed with good ears & a flexible voice. As a singer I can function equally well as both a Baritone & a Tenor. Some say my "phone voice" is exceptionally smooth. Probably a hold-over from my call center days back in corporate land. I have studied French, Italian & Russian, but am no longer fluent. However, my dialects are in fine shape & also include RP (British), Scottish, German, Southern, NY, Texan & Cajun. I have a strong ear for dialects & am a pretty quick study. If you need something specific, I can usually get to the passable point within a few days, especially if I have final copy to work with.

My Voice Experience

I love acting On-Camera & on Stage! I came to Voice Acting with extensive (25+ yrs) studio experience as a Vocalist & Musician. I produced my VO demos at home on the same PC I use for my Music work. Total time from concept to completion, was approximately 12 hours, over 2 days. Please have a listen; your comments are welcome!

My Training

Actually, it was a Voice Over class that led me to acting. At the time, I was so excited at the prospect of doing on hold messages, voice mail greetings & commercials that it never even occurred to me to explore other options. The instructor of the VO class was also an acting coach & invited me to take a group class at no charge. Needless to say, one class was all it took; I was completely hooked!

Additional Skills

I spent 12 years working in Technical Customer Support so I do well with technical copy. As a career Musician I have extensive knowledge of many musical genres and can speak authoritatively about them. I've also learned that my musicality helps me find the hidden rhythm in text. This has been a valuable tool in short-format applications like Commercials, Promos & Bumpers.
