Voice Description

My voice is mid-range, with a warm and friendly tone. I can be calm, gentle, or outgoing. I like to work the mike for a more personal tone, if need be. I can do things on the cheap, if you like (but not free). I like to think I'm affordable to those who don't have a lot of money.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Give me direction, and I'll give about anything male a shot. I used to be able to do a Jimmy Stewart voice. Haven't tried it in a while. :)

My Voice Experience

I began voicing TV commercials at WOI-TV in Ames, Iowa as a university student back in 1994. I later moved on to KCCI TV-8 in Des Moines, where I voiced several hundred local spots for the station over an eight period.

More recently, I've voiced corporate videos and city promotion spots here in South Korea.

My Training

1994 graduate of Iowa State University. Majored in Journalism & Mass Communications with an emphasis in Electronic Media. I am currently an MA distance student with the University of Missouri at Columbia.

My Studio Equipment

I have a home studio, which includes a Behringer mixer, Shure KSM27, and Shure SM57 mics. I use Audacity and Nero Wave Editor for my spots. I generally like to provide my clients with a good clean read, which they can tweak to their heart's content. I can add some effects if desired.

Additional Skills

I'm not expensive. I am open to low budget projects, but not "no budget" projects.

My goal is to provide decent audio and a good voice at a very reasonable price. I live far away in Korea which is about 12 to 13 hours ahead of US Central Standard Time, so you should e-mail me and not call (you'll get my parents). Extremely time-sensitive material should be noted as such. I can finish most short projects quickly, however, and should get you something before the next day.
