Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I have been professionally trained to work in the news media broadcast industry, which required me to loose my southern accent that I grew up speaking with - however when it's needed, I can provide plenty of southern charm. With hundreds of thousands of miles on my travel-odometer, I've been exposed to many dialects found in American culture, such as: Surfer, Cowboy/Southern, News Anchor, British, and a general strong midwestern and pleasent toned voice.

My Voice Experience

I have appeared in more than two dozen documentary projects that have aired across the United States, Europe, and Australia. No job is to small or big, I've worked with Fortune 500 companies and greatly enjoy working with small and medium sized businesses.

I have worked on projects that include: radio commercials, nature and science related television programming, on-hold systems, time and temperature systems, podcast and corporate presentations.

My Training

I have a marketing degree with a broadcast minor from Rogers State University and have worked with network affiliate television news stations as well as national cable networks such as The Weather Channel.
