I have a great deal of experience. I have auditioned for plays and been cast instead as disembodied voices (Hamlet, Diary of Anne Frank). In a Calgary production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a local newspaper compared me to James Earl Jones for the voice I did as Aslan. I've done the voices of CG characters for TV, radio commercials, and slates for radio stations. I'll try to get a bit of my resume to format legibly: TELEVISION Role Director/Producer Co.

I use the HD on-board sound-card capabilities on my Maximus VI Hero motherboard from ASUS and record into Adobe Audition. My character range is abnormally diverse. I hold a BA in Creative Writing from the University of Calgary and can offer script help on request for an additional fee, but will never interfere with the director or lead writers by offering unsolicited advice. I have a great deal of improv experience.
