My Voice Experience

Being a voice over artist is the only thing I've truly wanted to do- after I realized I wasn't going to be an astronaut. James Earl Jones as Darth Vader was the very first impression I had of a VO performance, and to this day it's driven my passion. That lifelong desire to work in this field provides that "je ne sais oomph" that you won't always find in other talent.

I'm currently the imaging voice for Analog Hole Gaming, a video game news and review podcast, having recorded and produced the show intro/outros, special episode content, and segment announcing, as well as served as guest host on numerous episodes. I have also been a contributor/ guest host on Taverncast, World of Warcast and The Instance.

Microphone Technique from Dan Lenard
Learned audio production as on-air talent in radio and DIY podcast engineering, in the intervening years

Associate of Arts (Psychology) Dalton State College 1996

My Studio Equipment

Marshall VO: 1-A
CEntrance MicPort Pro

Adobe Audition CS5.5

Additional Skills

As the son of an X-ray Technologist, I was raised around the medical industry, and its unique culture. Complex terminology for medicine, science and technology are fluent languages for me.

In a past life, I was an electrician, intrusion detection sales engineer and fire alarm/ life safety inspector. I've worked extensively with construction companies, contractors and building facility engineers- bringing firsthand knowledge to projects which need an instructional delivery. I've conducted orientations for new employees as well as trained seasoned pros on new processes and programs being unveiled, which makes for compelling industrial narratives.

A lifelong, self-labeled "geek," I've always enjoyed gadgets, video games and pretty much anything that plugs into the wall and goes "BEEP!" (Although in today's wireless age, I might need to revise that plugging in part). I'm usually the guy that friends and family call as de facto tech support, so I have a world of experience talking people through a troubleshooting process over the phone while keeping everyone's sanity in check.
