Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I have done a few animated voice over jobs. It's one of those things, for me, that when I am asked to do something different...I'd say 60% of the time I get the client what they want but I am not chosen for it.

My Voice Experience

I have been in the production, recording business since 1975. I began writing music jingles in 1978 and in 1980 started being asked to do voice over work. I 1987 I was hired to be an on staff engineer at LA Studios in North Hollywood. There, I beocame one of the top most requested engineers on staff. I was the late great Ernie Anderson's engineer and did occasional side voice work with and for Ernie. I also worked directly with, and use to hire, the also late great Don LaFontaine. One of your current talents, David Jeremiah, is a very good friend of mine. I actually helped him create his first vo demo reel the opened the door to his now very successful carrer.
