My Home Base

Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas, United States

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I grew up in New Jersey, so I do the fiesty Jersey, South Philly, and New York accent well. Though I have lived throughout the USA, my accent now is non-regional. I am of Italian descent and I am moderately fluent in French and Italian - fair comprehension and above average pronunciation in both languages.

My Voice Experience

Experience with a national tour company for voice over work in the residential real estate and commercial industries, as well as corporation presentations and tutorials, and website promos.

My Training

Attended Columbus State University - Columbus, GA (Communications Major)

Graduated Weist-Baron School of Television Acting - New York City (Center City Philadelphia location)

I am the primary voice over talent for a national virtual tour company.

No particular work in the fine arts - other than I am a long time patron of the Dallas and Ft. Worth Symphonies, and Performing Arts Center. I have a keen ear for powerful and compelling voices and a stong interest in all sorts of broadcasting voice. I dig advertising...

My Studio Equipment

Home Studio - Samson Q1U microphone, Audacity software, upload files via .wav or mp3. I have FTP software capability, within close proximity to a production studio in Dallas.

Additional Skills

I am a retired telecom mid-management exec; age 50 something and proud of it, lived and traveled around the world. Grew up near the beaches of South Jersey. Extremely personable, articulate, and well read. Comfortable in any social environment and fit right in with people of all ages, background, and social status. I have a great sense of humor; I love to sing and others tell me that I am very good at it! (I am told that I have a folksy Karen Carpenter/Crystal Gayle style)...I have a strong military family background, many years of volunteer work for our armed services at the senior officer level. I have a profound love for our country and for the men and women who defend us. I have a solid faith based approach to others and I believe that nothing is possible or worthwhile without prayer, or without kindness and respect for others as much as to ourselves. I have wanted to work in voice since I was a kid; however, the need to keep my day job (I'm partial to food and shelter), inhibited me from living the "starving artist" life while waiting for auditions and work. I am way too young to retire and a little too old to start over -- I enjoy life and I am so ready to bring my long time dream to a reality. As a kid, I didn't watch TV much, played outside all the time; but if I could hear a commercial ad play, I ran quickly inside the house momentarily glued to the TV watching the ad spot, completely mesmirized by the voice and message. I knew I was hooked back then. So, why not let us do something great together? I'll be expecting your call!
