My Voice Experience

I most recently completed a job for PNC bank doing a voice I had been working on for years - and it finally paid off (it was Benjamin Franklin). It was, by far, my best characterization to date. Prior to that, I had a steady gig as the announcer for the Roomful Express furniture company in which I used a more subdued, deadpan delivery. Basically, these two jobs of this past year demonstrate my range as a voice artist. I have the ability to do both characters and straight narration. My voice can be molded to whatever your project parameters require. Other clients include the Yorktowne Shoppe, Henry Berger Jewelers, Atria's, Lukoil, the Original FIsh Market, and many, many more!

Additional Skills

In addition to being a voice artist, I have (for the past decade or so) worked consistently as a copy writer/technical writer and editor with numerous companies throughout the greater Pittsburgh area. Consequently, I possess a wealth of experience as a writer; so I not only can I perform your voice overs with panache, but if need be, I can also write and edit them. Moreover, I am learning more and more about audio/video production every day and can say, with some confidence, that I will soon be able to complete full commercial production (complete with music and sound FX).
