Mid West accent for just about any read. Southern is a specialty for those reads calling for a smooth and relaxed delivery. Also great for "Old South" historical pieces.

1940s and 50s characterizations calling for old school detective and cop reads.

Gravely and "drill sergeant" voice for action. Bronx delivery for fun and fast paced reads.

My Voice Experience

Folks, you're talking with a tried and true news broadcaster cut from the cloth of Murrow and Cronkite. Honest and believable. I've won my fair share of broadcasting awards too.

Radio?...you bet! From news, to jazz programming, to hosting 24-hour charity radio-thons. How about award winning video production and voice talent? Why not! Not just one but three national awards for excellence in video production and narration.

Need an MC for your dinner or award show? Just give me a call. Many have! When multi-million dollar companies, like Ameren-UE, want the best in training materials, both on camera and narration, they know where to look.
