Voice Description

Guy next door, honest, trustworthy and real for commercials and web videos. Voice is toward the deep end, but now waaaay down there.

Can be anything from upbeat and cheerful to a voice with some gravitas for narration and trailers.

Coming from the stage and being an actor at heart, it is most effective to create a character and allow the voice to come out. This is required for video games and many types of character driven commercials.

My Voice Experience

I have been acting for over fifteen years on stage. I entered the voice over world in 2010, when I started training at Bosco Studios in Chicago. Although my first voice job was back in 2007 or so when I played a mule for a radio spot--see demos. Recently, I have done some TV commercials for Floors To Go around the country and a really cool Trailer for Merrimack College hockey that is on Youtube. Just like any business I am always trying to build my client list. I appreciate the opportunity to work with you.

My Training

Living in South Bend, IN I feel fortunate to have access to some of the best training in the world online. And it is not just about voice acting training to me, but also about recording techniques, sound quality and everything else that will allow me to provide you the best sound files for any project.

I have taken classes with some of the best talent in the business--Terry Berland, Terry Apple, Bettye Zoller, Nancy Wolfson, Terry Daniel, Marc Cashman, Dave Zema and Edge Studio in New York. I have also worked on my home studio by taking classes with Dan Lenard and a private session with one of Edge Studios top engineers. I have done private consults with a local sound "guru", Bruce Bartlett, who wrote the book "Practical Recording Techniques".
