Voice Description

Born mimic here with excellent flow and diction. Vocal skills run the gamut. Fast talking DJ patter, testosteronified sports announcing, smooth professional narrations, authoritative Elizabethan, pub-crawling brit-speak, club-dwelling snobs or just Joe Average and more. Lots of room to shift gears from one side of the voice rainbow to the other.

My Voice Experience

Hey, I've been in successful banking management all my life. While interesting, I'm ready to do something that's FUN to pay the bills. While I can front a professional demeanor, inside there's both a fast-talking class clown and a tooth-glinting announcer ready to flex his voice box. This is a new start for me. I'm talented but I'm cheap. As a rule, I read copy flawlessly, but am extremely adaptive to needed changes. Whatever you need, I'll deliver.

My Training

Can't list any schooling. Picked up everything I do bantering with my two brothers, performing for co-workers and leading meetings. Have exhausted the internet absorbing industry info. Still, everyone's asking me why in the hell I'm not working for Disney or Universal. So, I decided to act on it, schooling or no schooling. I'm bucking the odds, but, hey, that's what I do, and that's what America's all about.

My Studio Equipment

No bigtime studio equipment. Just a new PC and Movie Edit Pro. Will update this section as I pull together the equipment. In progress.

Additional Skills

For someone without formal training, I think you're going to freak out about how easy I am to work with. I understand production, cost-consciousness and delivering a quality product and have been delivering for over 20 years in the banking industry. Now I want to add my voice to your goals and dreams in the exact same fashion.
