I love championing the story and action in a project. My professional acting experience affords me a colorful vocal range and ease in speaking technical language.
I am also a composer and sound designer, and have produced finished tracks of music, sound effects and voice for children's iPad apps, audio books, and animation.
In addition to my own work I serve as the manager for our family's voice over business, SniderVoices, which includes my wife Jeany, and our two sons, Donovan and Weston.
