A talent show at my old high school is where it all began. I found my talent for impersonations as I took the stage as Jack Sparrow, Nicolas Cage and even the school's cook. The school loved it so much as they laughed and laughed (especially the cook impression) and told me after how good it was and spot on. From there, I took it to Halloween. It was that year at my school that I decided to test not only my impression skills, but my acting as well. I became the Joker from the Dark Knight. Costume, make up and everything, I didn't break character the entire night. I would talk and act like the Joker to all my friends at the Halloween dance. I'm proud to say I actually scared some of them. It was quite successful. From then on, every Halloween I pick a character and impersonate him the entire night without stopping. It's the best time of year for me. Halloween characters have been: The Joker, Jack Sparrow, Beetlejuice and Edgar (cockroach in Men in Black 1) I finally realized what voice overs were and that I would be perfect for them because of the ways I can vary my voice. So I eventually put down a commercial demo reel and here I am. I've been a musician and singer since I was about 6-7 when I got my first drum set. The singing really came later when I got into choir at my school, moving up to varsity and then jazz choir, eventually winning MVP my final year. Other than that, it's all me. I learned about and received Pro Tools when I was in high school. I would write my own songs and record them, including guitar, drums and vocals. Our choir had a song that called for harmonic singing. I went home and watched a couple Youtube videos on it but figured it out by myself mostly. I ended up being able to do it best. I also found out about throat singing through the research and figured that out as well. The voice is the most variable instrument. And I love putting it to the test and seeing what I can make it do. VO or singing. I have Pro Tools 11 on my computer and an MBOX 2. The mic I have is an AKG Perception 420. I also live about 5 mins from a very high class studio called Cleartrack in Clearwater, Fl. as well. Most important knowledge I've learned while becoming a VO talent: I've learned that no matter what the type of voice is, the most important part is getting across the communication. Because art is a communication, no matter what form it is.
