Voice Description

The warmth of my personality and good humor comes out in my voice whether I am sounding "announcer-y" or "character-y." On the other hand, I can be quite serious. When you listen to my demos you will hear a voice talent to be reckoned with. You will hear the urbane warmth of Swiss Air, the urban humor of AT&T, the flat-out determination of a Navy promo, the British wit and charm of Schweppes, a locquatious Germanic character in Prof. Meyers, and Larry, the "geeky" computer pioneer.

My Voice Experience

My most recent voice over work was for an outfit that produces an online MBA course. I did several straight and character voices for them. Also, I read the role of NYC Detective Paul Dawson for the Electric Sheep Company which produces online games that appear on the Second Life Website. This one in conjunction with CSI New York. I just finished an Independent film (2/08 to be released later this year), "The Devil's Tail," shot in Mexico. I played a retired Texas Border Patrolman who investigates the smuggling and murder of illegals across the border. Also, I did a student film in which I played a upscale Park Avenue type with a FDR accent.
I have acted professionally taught English and Theatre in college and high school for 40+ years. I am now teaching acting at the SUNY College at Old Westbury.
During those 40+ years, living in Atlanta, Philadelphia, and New York (I am a Brooklyn boy --- Who says you can't take Brooklyn out of the boy?) I have done commercials, industrial films, voice, and print for major companies like Orkin Exterminators, Ford and Dodge dealers, local banks in the South East and Delaware Valley, Japan Airlines, IBM, as well as industrial films for companies like AT&T. I taught high school in the NYC school system. I practiced my acting, and I kept my voice in shape by reading to my students. Earlier this year I performed Macbeth, and recently I performed in The Miser (Jacques, the cook/coachman) at Bank St. Playhouse in NY. In the last year I did Mr. Fishbein, "Idiots First," (a Bernard Malumud short story) Wings Theatre, NY; Holofernes, "Love's Labour's Lost'" Riverside Park, NY. In my career I have played leading roles like Ahab, "Moby Dick"; Alfieri, "A View from the Bridge"; The Major General, "The Pirates of Penzance"; and Falstaff, "Henry IV, part 1" to name a few.
