Voice Description

My style would probably be described as "warm" and, at the same time, "guy next door".
My specialty would be probably described as conversational style.
It's been described as unique. I'll take that as a compliment!
I can do quirky. Funny. Off the wall.
But also calm.
Authoritative.
And very real.
That's what I do.

My Voice Experience

I've been doing this awhile ... more than ten years.
I have a passion for this business! There's nothing I love more than sending a customer a finished product and then hearing, "We LOVED it!"
I began in a previous job doing a voiceover and script for that company's website streaming video. I enjoyed it immensely and got a lot of kudos from it.
Through that, I got hooked up with a producer. And then an agent. And things took off from there.
I've done voice and scripts for everything from an aluminum siding company to a both large and small non-profit organizations, political ads, and everything in between.
I've also been a writer all my life - and have been nationally published in Newsweek and USA Today - so I also enjoy writing scripts. You can hear samples of my writing AND my voice in some of my demos.

Bachelors of arts degree from The Ohio State University in history.

My Studio Equipment

Additional Skills

First and foremost: writing ability.
The spoken word differs from the merely read word. And not everybody appreciates or understands that. I write for the spoken word. I can write in a variety of styles and speak in a variety of accents so the prospective client has a lot of choices at their disposal!
In addition, I'm a reasonably good producer as well, so I can add music, some sound effects and general ambiance to give the final work a fully finished sound.
