My Training

I broke in to the industry the "ye olde fashon way..."
i apprentenced myself to a local station in town and had a wonderful Mentor...

I started at the very bottom answering phones,taking messages and fetching peoples lunch as a non paid intern.

As both a narrator and spot voice over artist, I've been featured in alot of voice job projects since 1998.

I was mentored by a wonderful gentleman who gave me my first break in broadcasting... and as time rolled on
4 radio stations later i learned how to turn out excellent productions in which i have voiced spots for
things ranging from food to cars...

I am experienced with being on air keeping people entertained with short but sweet talk that's informative and fun running a tight show back selling, pre selling, voice overs, imaging,writing original copy and more.

My Studio Equipment

I keep it simple and effective... i am very knowledgeable with cool edit pro 2.0...
some have made the switch to others but cool edit is my trusty pal and together we have made a lot of magic.

I have changed mics many times over the last few years so hard to keep which one is which...
To be honest my current mic could be better but there are some sound filters in cool edit that allow me to produce high quality sound either way...

Need a few more gigs before i can really bump up to the latest mic out there. ( Just being honest ).
However i have never had any complaints from any paid clients as i am very particular about any piece of finished sound released under my name.

Additional Skills

Can also do:
movie trailers
promos
narrations
books on tape
announcer
celebrity impressions
created voice characters
imaging

Quick turn around time for mp3 delivered via email or WAV! Improvisation, characters and dialects galore. I take direction easily and can fine-tune a character voice quickly.
