My Voice Experience

I've performed voice-overs for aspiring artists and radio stations in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Plus, performed voices for three volumes of Rapademics (Rap + Academics). Rapademics uses hip-hop as a learning tool to teach children educational principles in math, grammar, etc. It was great fun doing character voices and entertaining children on Rapademics!! I also did some character voices for Premiere One Networks in Los Angeles, California in 2006. Oh, if I could've only gotten paid for the countless character voices I've done on my friend's outgoing phone messages, let's just say that Bill Gates would be coming to my home asking to borrow sugar!

DAILY PRACTICE OF IMPERSONATING SOME CARTOON CHARACTER OR CELEBRITY!!!!

My Studio Equipment

Don't have my own studio, but have a good friend who has a dynamite in-home studio that I use all the time. Also, being a music producer, I know how to produce my own projects!

Additional Skills

Being a musician and recording artist, I know the importance of reaching and touching your audience! From doing some acting as well, I understand what parts of the copy really need to be emphasized. I've been able to impersonate people's voices ever since I was around 6. I've been driving my mother crazy for a while now, so I figure it's way time for me to entertain the rest of the planet!!!!
