My Voice Experience

Geoff has had in depth training with 2 major industry VO coaches in Los Angeles and Toronto, 1 breathing expert (yes - breathing!), 1 year at Second City for Improv training. Geoff grew up acting on summer stage shows leading to MC stage work (while having a regular job) and to private media radio and narration contracts on an informal basis until taking on the online VO sector as a career in 2009. Since 2009 Geoff has posted work in 14 countries, has 10+ client videos on youtube, ranks consistently in top 10% of auditions and keeps abreast of continuous vocal training techniques.

2011 clients include Discovery Channel, Coors Light, Schick Razors, City of Singapore, The Vault NYC, Neil Hunter Podmatic, Toontown, Vancouver Island Brewery just to mention a few...

Geoff is occasionally called up for on-screen work but his focus is the VO sector due to his state of the art in house studio which allows him to be selective on the work he does.
