Voice Description

I consider myself to have a warm and relatable type of voice. I have been told by many clients that I have a "Plain Jane" type of voice for regular reads. I connect well with women and have done many presentations for women's groups and conventions. I am very lucky to be able to do character voices and have done many commercials and reads as many different people. I do radio but I don't like to do radio reads, I like conversational deliveries and pride myself on being able to do movie and cartoon voice overs with minimal acting training.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Some latino accent, some french, some british, and some irish. I do an excellent cookie monster, and some other muppets. I so some of the odd characters from the simpsons. I can do some spongebob characters. I have an excellent gay character, southern accents come easy......but I must say you have to know the different dialects. There is Georgia, Tennessee, and cajun. Those of you from the south know exactly what I am saying. I can fit into just about anything and any character.

My Voice Experience

My Training

I don't have any formal training in voiceover, but I have been a veteran radio personality in any and all shifts and all formats. I have many A.S.C.A.P. awards for writing both music and comedy/parody. I have more than 15 years of production experience, including working with studio musicians at Belmont college and other various studios in Nashville. I have been a production director for 2 station groups, and imaging director for 4 different stations groups.

My Studio Equipment

I have an 8 channel mixing board that can handle music or voice. I have a symetrix mic processor, the same one used in most radio control rooms. A Sure mic directly from a radio station. I use a Behringer composer pro, I also use a vocalist on some music production. I have rack mount digitec delay and reverb units. I have an old reel to reel, cassette, mini disc, cd recorder, dvd player/recorder, and video recorder/player. I do all my main tracks on cool edit, but have used many other software.

Additional Skills

I am currently doing a midday show at a country radio station, but have done mostly mornings. I am known as the go to guy for bad scripts that need exitement, character voices, and quick but professional finish.
