Voice Description

Very wide range, from typical "guy next door" stuff to movie-trailer material. For instance, I just did a commercial for Woolite. Contrast that with the deep, heartfelt material I voice for Pacific Life Insurance... and the loud, in-your-face style I use for "Pinks All Out" on Speed Channel. Gawd, I'm such a name-dropper.
