Voice Description

Regular voice is highish-medium pitch, knowledgeable, technical, precise. I also have a deeper, more gruff and raspy voice for copy that requires a little more roughness around the edge and a smooth voice that is more soothing than deep. Can also do a loud booming voice for bombastic purposes as well as a reigned-in version that is good for shorter bumpers.

Can do variations on all of the above, plus additional humorous voices that are okay for short pieces.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

My Voice Experience

Not strictly voice-over, but I was an on-camera spokesman for Coca-Cola's Unexpected Summer contest in 2004. I appeared on the Today Show, Good Day Atlanta, CNN Headline News and CNN International, did radio interviews for ABC News and a morning show in Idaho, and also gave many interviews for print and magazines.

I also played Edlin in the ultra-low-budget film "I Am Dot Matrix," and provided the voices for several other animated and stop-motion characters in the film.

My Training

I have been studying voice acting for the last six months under Della Cole of yourACT.

I have also studied live television interviews with the PR firm Burson-Marsteller in New York.

While at Georgia Tech, I did radio play-by-play for the baseball team for two seasons. I also spent a year as the Sports Editor, and the previous two years as a general sports reporter. Since then, I have had several baseball articles published on various web sites, including Baseball Prospectus.

My Studio Equipment

I have access to a professional studio through my agency, People Store.

Additional Skills

I have a degree in computer science, and in fact that's been my main job over the years, so I can understand all sorts of technical copy and come across like an expert, not a narrator.
