I'm a natural with talent. I'm looking for new opportunities to expand my repertoire. I sang on 94WYSP in Philadelphia, PA back in January of 2010 for Danny Bonnaduce's Aerosmith Idol contest, where the contestants were singing for a pair of Aerosmith tickets, and trying to prove that they were good enough to fill Steven Tyler's shoes in his absence from the band. I won the contest with 81% of the votes from all of the world-wide listening audience. Other than that, within the last few years I'd done sporadic impressions and narrations for personal clients. Mostly self-taught. A few classes here and there. I haven't acted on stage since 5th and 6th grade in a production of H.M.S. Pinafore, and Ruddigore (Gilbert & Sullivan) and I have won a few karaoke contests over the years, including 2010's Aerosmith Idol on the former WYSP radio station in Philadelphia. Education? Graduated Summa Cum Laude from Albright College in Reading, PA with a degree in Digital Media and Art I guarantee that I have the skills to fill almost any role, no matter what degree or training I have. I have Rode podcaster, and Behringer XLR mics, a 2-channel mixer and PC's/Mac's with various audio recording and editing programs. I know a little about audio engineering, and I'm an editor, and musician.
