Voice Description

As you can hear from my demo(s) I have a unique vocal range. I can do the smooth and sexy urban read, as well as the hot club or hot concert read or I can drop the urban and keep it warm for narrations from audio books to flight manuals and yet I can turn it up and give you the commanding CEO hard sell read. But that's not all; I can also give you the man on the street/guy next door whose is very conversational without being too wordy. No pun intended but my demo(s) speaks for it's self. I look forward to you loaning me your ear.

My Voice Experience

I started doing voiceovers back around 1993. I've voiced spots mainly for local radio and some TV. I worked as a Production Assistant and Production Director with Clear Channel Radio in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Washington DC and Panama City Markets from '03-09. So during that time I have written, produced and voiced spots ranging from banking, auto dealers, restaurants, concerts, album/cd/music download releases the list is endless. As you will hear I Have a Great Vocal Range...

My Training

I've participated in a couple of V-O seminars over the years as well as attending my local CSB, which landed me Clear Channel Radio back in '98. My growth has mostly come from my contact and interaction with Voiceover Professionals who took the time to educate me on how to get better and accessing copy and finding the appropriate read for it. So I've applied that knowledge and years of in studio working on perfecting my reads. There's nothing more beneficial than real world experience. The more I do the better I am.

My Studio Equipment

I have a home studio with the entire Adobe Production Suite, which includes Adobe Audition and Sound Booth. I also produce audio content using Sony's Vegas and the latest version of ProTools M-Powered 8. I have a Dell Laptop with E-MU Audio interface and IMac with the M-Audio Fast Trac Pro to produce with. I have everything needed to voice a dry read or produced a spot from scratch to completion.

Additional Skills

Over the years I've become a very good copy writer. I also create my own music and sound affects. I love to create and being that said I'm not a fan of being limited in any way. So I work ay being a very well rounded voiceover talent as well as producer of content.
