My Voice Experience

Nickalodeon cartoon - "Hey Arnold" - Bully.

The Auld Dubliner Irish Pub Demo Commercial for Kcal Radio - Manic Irishman.

I was recruited from an acting class by an agent from ICM who thought my voice had good character qualities. I began to audition shortly there after and booked the Nickalodeon gig. I stopped just after because of a writing deal. Now that I have my 4 year old kid, I am in cartoon world daily and the voices draw me in. My own voices come out to entertain my kid and I realize that I have to get back to performing.

My Training

Studied with Bobby Shaw Chance in her expressions unlimited acting program.

Ms. Barry's commercial acting classes.

Cameron Thor Acting studio student.

All acting classes apply to doing Voice overs. The same ability to break down script and find nuance apply. Subtle inflection changes and ability to take direction are paramount.

My Studio Equipment

just a home computer. Building one.

Additional Skills

I speak Spanish and lived in Mexico City when I was thirteen. This experience gave me an ear for accent. It actually kept me from being beaten up. The more naturalized I sounded the better off for my health.
