Voice Description

In my day-to-day intonation, you'll find I have a clean, clear, "conversational/professional" vocalization. However, I have a versatile, wide range of characters, impersonations and dialects to spice up productions.

I am as comfortable appearing on-camera as I am in studio, and have extensive experience in jingle writing and production as well.

If your production would benefit from Caribbean Steel drums, I am a prolific performing artist in the Midwest.
