Additional Skills

I have a fully functional audio production facility and am capable of dry and fully produced commercial voice over, narration and pretty much any audio need.

As well as commercial voice over my background makes me uniquely qualified for corporate narration. My previous incarnation was in broadcast and cable executive management for twenty two years. Although I started in broadcast as an on air national anchor of an all news radio station, my background and relative skill in voiceover make me uniquely qualified to assist in both presentation and writing of any project.
I know, 22 years in management and he is a voice artist? I love this job, so much so I left my corporate career in favour of this. Nevertheless, if your project needs help as well as voice I am willing to lend a hand!
