My Voice Experience

I've provided character voices for over 15 years, both live and pre-recorded. My other "job" as a puppeteer has given me the chance to work with a wide range of character types, giving each a unique vocal trait. I've provided voices, narrations, and characters for a wide variety of companies including The Jim Henson Company, The Nashville Network, FOX, Sesame Street, major motion pictures, nationally syndicated television series, home videos, and even local radio stations. Some voices were performed live, along with characters, other were pre-recorded for use later.

My Training

I worked in local radio during my college years, gaining a love for communications.

A degree in Public Relations has been valuable in marketing myself. It has also been helpful in writing copy for some projects.

I've taken acting/VO classes over the years, and have been a performer with a nationally touring puppet company for 15 years as master puppeteer, director, road manager, and "face" of the company.

I've also performed on a wide variety of film and video projects including "Muppets From Space," "Elmo's Adventures in Grouchland," and "Elmo's Christmas Countdown."
