Voice Description

I have a rich, moderately-deep, resonant young-middle-aged male voice with a wide range of intonation. I can speak very precisely for technical content, and can provide a variety of emphases and reading styles for any given copy. I specialize in technical narrations, but commercials and audiobooks are also assignments I enjoy. I can project calm, soothing feelings well.

My Voice Experience

I have narrated some training videos for various companies I have been employed by, from "How to Assist the Undress Process at a Step-off-pad While Wearing Waterproof Clothing and a PAPR" to a comprehensive computer-based guided tour of a new effluent treatment facility (for which I wrote most of the copy).

My Training

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology with a Chemistry minor. My work experience as a Control Room Operator at a nuclear reactor gave me the equivalent of a Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Operations.

My Studio Equipment

Alienware Area 51-M15x.

MBox 2

ProTools 8 LE, with several other recording and editing packages playing a supporting role.

DAK cardioid condenser microphones.

I know the basics of recording and simple editing, and I'm earnestly working at learning the rest of ProTools' capabilities.

Additional Skills

In my career since my reactor closed, I have spent years as a Technical Writer and Editor, writing Operating Procedures of various types for a number of different facilities, Technical Manuals, Administrative Procedures, and other supporting and descriptinve documents. I have worked at a Science Museum, writing and editing display copy and publicity materials for the Museum. I have been trained as a Hazard Analyst, and have written several dozen Nuclear Safety Hazard Analyses for new processes, systems, activities, and newly-discovered information. I have the honor to be a "first reader" for a New York Times #1-bestselling novelist, Patricia Briggs.
