Voice Description

I am capable of a wide variety of deliveries, depending on what is appropriate for the project, but my specialty is the natural delivery of the average everyman who is more like your neighbor and less like an "announcer". Clients appreciate my ability to capture the effect and emphasis they seek. While I am not exclusive to comedic work, I take pride in my timing and ability to use humor as an effective technique to make a message stand out.

My Voice Experience

If it involves the spoken word, I've probably done it (or something similar to it) at some point in the last couple of decades. The majority of my background is in radio advertising production. I have also done television voiceovers, narrative reading (such as audio books), PowerPoint/business presentations, on-hold and electronic switchboard prompts, and more.

My Training

My training comes from over twenty years of broadcast and production experience. Working with hundreds of clients and mentors in a wide variety of environments has taught me what works and what doesn't. I don't come into a job with a pre-conceived notion of "the way it should be done because that's the way I was trained". In the art of effectively communicating a message, I believe that experience and a natural ability to relate to people you can't see is more valuable than any kind of formal training.
