Voice Description

Naturally calm, soothing, and rich.

Women seem to be immediately attracted to it, over the phone or face-to-face. They think it's sexy.

Having experience in choir as a baritone (and tenor 2), I could also sound theatrical.

Musically, my voice ranges from about 3 1/2 to 4 octaves -- I guess you could say that it can go from Choral Baritone to Heavy Metal Scream.

When needed, I could also sound a little gruff.

My Studio Equipment

No personal equipment at this time, except for an HP Pavilion dv2000, with a built in stereo microphone, which I used to record samples of my voice (they are in the demo section of my profile).

Previously owned equipment:
- Tascam 4-track analog recorder
- Zoom 9030
- Boss Dr. Rhythm drum machine
- Alesis Quadraverb
- Audio Technica Microphones
- Vegas Pro
- Sound Forge
- Audacity

Additional Skills

In the first listing above (for "World of Phonics" trilogy), I acted as Talent, Composer, Producer, Sound Engineer, and co-Director.

The project was done using a series of microphones (karaoke mics to Audio-Technica studio mics) going into a Tascam 4-track interfaced with a Desktop Computer running Vegas Pro and/or Sound Forge.

Musical scoring was done using a Roland (Boss) Dr. Rhythm drum machine, a violin, an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, and a 6-string bass. All string instruments were processed through a Zoom 9030 and piped into the computer, and edited using Sound Forge and Vegas Pro.
