Voice Description

My voice has been described as "...the guy can soothe you and then wake you up in a hurry...". After being employed by major stations in the Northeast as both On-Air talent and Production Director for the past 10+ years, most of what I have done has been pre-scripted and managed by sales reps. I have loosened the chain and have begun producing out of my pro studio for local and regional businesses with great success.

More about "The Voice". Serious, soothing, exciting, dramatic, charismatic. Some character voice manipulation. "The guy next door". Smooth and informative nature. Convincing, "you can trust me".

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Quite convincing as a mafioso. Italian accent, dialect but in English with bits of the Italian language. If the mood is right, I can probably convince you that I am in my adolescence begging to go outside instead of doing homework. I am quite character driven, without being typecast. I can ramble on and on, like now.

My Voice Experience

For the past 10+ years, I've worked for about 5 major stations in the Northeast, USA. Both as On-Air Talent and Production Director.

I've produced more than 500 commercials while in employment.

Since then, working privately out of my pro studio, I have produced several commercials for local and regional businesses. Everything form local contractors, Fitness Centers to regional Car Dealerships.

I like to be able to provide my abilities/talent to my clients in whatever way they desire. I am hard working and am not satisfied until m client tells me that their commercial is "super"!

I am also a professional musician with touring experience with local, regional, national and international acts. I also own and run a professional Pro Tools Recording facility.

My Training

I attended the "New School of Radio and Television" in Albany, NY. I was never one for the college life so I focused on more hands-on career training. Received certificate in Radio and Television Production.

I also stated that I am a professional musician. With a whole lot of touring experience. I have been asked to perform (vocally and instrumentally)on 2-3 demo discs by local and regional acts/bands. I am currently working on a solo project with a disc debut due out middle of 2011.

My Studio Equipment

I record exclusively using Pro Tools software (currently 8.0.4 version), using the Digidesign 003 interface. I implement several mics because they all have different characteristics. I use the following: Electrovoice rs20's, Behringer B1's, SM58, SM57, AKG, Audix mics.

Custom built audio production computers.

Also in the recording studio:

Line 6 Guitar and Bass amplification
TAMA/Ddrum percussion
Ddrum triggering
Dean, Epiphone, Gibson, Ovation guitars
Washburn, Fender basses
Yamaha, Roland, Ensoniq, Korg keyboards

Lexicon effects

Behringer 3282a mixers

Additional Skills

The bottom line is that I am hard working. But at the same time, I love and have fun with what I do. Audio production is my life, whether it's producing a commercial or recording my next musical project, and I would never want to do anything else. Actually, I don't think I'm fit to do anything else. This is what I was put on this earth to do.

Given the chance, I would work hard for anyone that chose me for their next project.
