I'm a full-time voice actor with over 20 years experience working from my professional home studio, with clients ranging from national/global companies and government agencies, to local businesses. I'm known for being highly versatile, directable, and for having lots of repeat clients! I'm busy with commercials and all kinds of narration--corporate narration for websites and training, documentaries and in-show TV narration, award shows, eLearning and online medical narration. In every genre though, I approach all my work as a storyteller. Clients include: PBS, EY (ErnstYoung), Atlantis Paradise Resort, US Army, IBM, Depend, Palace of Versailles, Office Depot, The Breakers Hotel, Baptist Health, University of Florida, University of Miami, and many others. I do a bit of on-camera work as a host/spokesperson/interviewer, along with pledge hosting for South Florida PBS which requires live ad-lib and teleprompter skills. I stay current in voiceover trends, by studying with some of the top names in vo coaching, like Mary Lynn Wissner, Jeff Howell, Jodi Gottlieb, Dave Fennoy, Dave Walsh, and Marice Tobias. In college I majored in Communications with a minor in English. I can write scripts, and polish them if needed, especially helpful to international clients who want their scripts a little more "Americanized." I have my own fully equipped home studio, complete with a WhisperRoom, a Neumann TLM103 mic, Audient iD14 DAW, and a MacBook Pro using TwistedWave to record on. I also have a Shure KSM27 mic and ProTools with an mBox2 as backup equipment, along with an iMac. You can connect with me and direct and/or listen in with SourceConnect Standard, Skype, Zoom, ipDTL on request, and phone patch.
