My Voice Experience

I am a professional voice actor with 42 years of experience,including 23 years in radio working for ABC and Westinghouse. I've worked for all the major car companies in Detroit. I have also worked for many medical establishments such as Henry Ford Hospital
and Geisinger Health Systems, Huron Valley Hospital, Lewisburg Cancer Center, Pfizer and Schering-Plough. I'm a solid documentary narrator as well. I am the narrator
on "Discoving Secrets of the Vatican" and also, "Fishing
Boat Tordenskjord", for PBS.

My Training

After I graduated from Broadcast school, I worked locally in Pennsylvania radio. and in 5 years, went to work for ABC at WRIF and later, Westinghouse at WLLZ radio in Detroit as Production Director. I wrote and produced spots and presentations as well as branching out into freelance voice over work very early on. Voice over jobs very quickly became my dominant income and I left radio in the early '90's. I voice coached for ten
years as well. I now do voice over work all over the world.

My Studio Equipment

Pro Tools recording plus Sound Deluxe E-47 tube mic, fired by a Universal Audio 6176 tube amp. I have phone patch and can send WAV, AIFF or mp3 files, online in a
matter of minutes as well as editing the project.

Additional Skills

I was a voice coach for those just starting out as well as others who want to
improve their craft or who want to transition from radio into voice overs. Having a great voice is only a start. The most important thing is your ability to act and interp copy. If you can't, you're as marketable as a nice looking car with no steering wheel.
