Voice Description

I have a variable vocal ability that allows me an unlimited amount of talent to share. From a low, bassy sound for narratives, to soft speaking sounds for smooth listening, to many impressions of people, performers, and charactures. I am also a convincing manipulator of dialects of many world-wide nations as well as the many dialects of the different parts of the US.

My Voice Experience

2. I've given numerous speeches and public speaking engagements for the military and local community on many occassions to include Veteran's Day and 4th of July celebrations

3. I've spoken to school assemblies while as a recruiter and as a key note speaker.

4. I taught public speaking to military leaders as part of thier career progression and evaluated them on thier performance.

5. I was a Sr Leadership Instructor for the Army National Guard for three years which put me in the place to speak to a very diverse group of people.

6. When reading to my daughters before bed each night, I always gave the characters a voice to make it more entertaining. (Which I still do).

7. I've done narratives for special programs for my church.

8. I've recorded 4 songs for my church's special CD of favorite christian songs.

9. Got the part of a Jewish butcher from the Bronx for the play, "The Cemetary Club", based on my adaptability for the dialect needed.

10. Played and sang with a variety of bands both in the US and in Germany to include work with a Music and Theater group in Wurzburg, Germany.

My Training

As listed above, most of my training came from my years in the military and through my years of performing on stage as an entertainer. Everything I learned usually came from true life experiences and putting myself out there. I also learned a lot through teaching others how to speak, sing, and entertain.

My Studio Equipment

I personally do not own any studio recording equipment. But am willing to drive to where there is a studio within my part of the world.

Additional Skills

As a retired soldier, I appreciate the need to complete a task and fulfill my assignments to the best of my abilities to the satisfaction of those who have given to me. I live by my word and my responsiblities to others.

I have always wanted the opportunity to use my God-given talents and abilities and my voice is the blessing He has blessed me with. Not for myself but for others to enjoy.

I hope you will find a place for my abilities. I promise you won't be disappointed.
