Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I can perform a Caribbean island accent very well, namely Jamaican. I can also perform a Hispanic accent if you're looking for something a little less than authentic. I can send a demo of both if you wish. I am willing to try other accents and dialects if asked.

My Voice Experience

I am just starting my voice over career. But wait, listen to my demo, if you haven't already. You won't be disappointed.

I worked 18 years in manufacturing in various roles from engineering to middle management. It is now "halftime" in my career life and time to move in new and exciting directions involving my passion for audio.

My Training

My formal education is in engineering; however, what I've learned about voice over comes from personal study and working with voice over talent with years of experience. I can provide references if needed.

My Studio Equipment

I have the following in my personal studio for recording and audio editing:

Cakewalk Sonar
Sound Forge
AKG microphone
24bit/96kHz audio interface
MIDI Controller
TL Audio mic pre
KRK near field monitors

I have access to a studio that has ISDN capability if needed. I also use Skype if video conferencing would be required.

Additional Skills

In manufacturing, it's important to listen to your customers and to your shop floor personnel in order to deliver the best product possible without sacrificing quality or margin. I was the person always asked to complete critical projects or accept "unpopular" assignments. However, these factors contributed to my success; listening carefully, asking questions for understanding, and delivering on my tasks. If you're looking for someone who is easy to work with, will listen to your needs, and then follow up with a top notch performance, contact me.
