Am also capable of creating personae, both comedic and dramatic, with voice.

My Voice Experience

Currently my voice experience has been in using my voice on stage and film and in business situations.

On stage and on video, my recent experiences have required me to use my voice for:
Role of Otto Frank (Diary of Anne Frank): Light German Accent
Role of John Birt (Frost/Nixon): "BBC" British Accent
Role of Nathan (Short Film "You're Fired"): British accent (not as sophisticated as John Birt)
I have also been cast in the role of a college professor in an upcoming TV pilot.

From a business perspective, I have worked a lot in sales, marketing, and training. In these roles, I have worked as a public speaker at seminars and other events, meeting facilitator, training instructor, and coach. I have also recorded audio presentations for internal company training use and to present information to prospective customers.
