My Voice Experience

Looking to break into the professional voice acting community now that I'm a working actor, I'm really looking for my big break. I've done some college theater and a bit of emcee work for a show called ImproVision in the past (doing a bit of a Don Pardo impression). I've been doing Murder Mystery Dinner Theater in two different roles. (one in drag, one with a decidedly german accent.)

I've participated in fan-based work over on the Voice Acting Alliance BBS. In particular, I'm working on a Parsec Award nominated podcast, 'Star Trek: Outpost' (Now in its third season!)in the role of Captain Monty Buchanan. I'm particularly interested in voicing for cartoons, animated features and videogames. I want to get my page on the IMDB, and fire ever onward from there, filling it with my casting credits.

My Training

2.5 years acting training at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte NC. (Tom Vance, Tom Hollis, Cary Cugler)

Voice Acting Panels and presentations at DragonCon, Atlanta.

Constant practice reading aloud with novels and more melodramatic comic book work. Recording those I thought were worth reading and editing them together in my digital audio suite.

My Studio Equipment

I have a tube mp project series pre-amp with an AKG Perception 100 condenser microphone. I use my PC to do all my recording and mixing, and use a copy of Cool Edit Pro 2 (now part of the Adobe Creative Suite)to record with. I have my own recording booth to get a good sound in.

Additional Skills

Cold-reading, Audiobook Reading, Audio-Editing and Recording. PC construction. Emcee Voiceovers.

I've deep interests in animation, fantasy and science fiction that I can apply to any character you give me. I've the tendecy to research and work up voices for known characters in a genre. (Comic book and Manga/Anime characters, Characters from novel adaptations.) I take it rather seriously, much like in the anime industry in Japan.

I'm told I'm about one of the nicest people you could ever meet. I hope it's true. When I work on a project, it's important to me to get the sound and feel of the material right and accurate for its own sake, not to massage my own ego. To me, the show comes first, and my concerns take a backseat.

I'm usually full of ideas and not shy about sharing them if asked or allowed to participate in that part of the process. Otherwise, I'll take direction and do as I'm told.

I'm also a digital artist, character designer, a writer of fiction, prose, editorial and political comentary, with a fictive voice that could be described as the la-grange point between Stephen King and the late great Douglas Adams. I've also got rather a huge vocabulary that I'm not shy about using. Hearing a new word, my first impulse is to look it up.
