My Voice Experience

Stage actor in a W-I-D-E variety of roles. Radio drama, including "War of the Worlds" plus several Perry Mason episodes where I played the title role. Played the part of an arguably bisexual theatrical director very much in touch with his feminine side. In real life, was a Marine Corps officer and able to deliver very strong, macho presentation. Several musical productions, including "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh" which demanded no less than 14 different characters. Featured in an industrial promotional video as a manager in a medical business.

My Training

Theatrical training. Musical training in childhood. Some training in music vocalizations (married to a theatrical music director and accompanist who you can get for little or no additional charge).

My Studio Equipment

Digital Voice Recorder and laptop using Source Elements. Access to a well-equipped professional recording studio.

Additional Skills

Have managed two performing arts organizations: a local theatre company, and a local symphony orchestra. Therefore, I have excellent contacts for ancillary services including musicians, additional voice talents, and technical services.

Excellent writer. Can create or edit copy, but only as needed. Clear, concise, cogent, focused for impact.

My talent comes from training AND good genes! Grew up in an advertising environment; grandfather created and built a successful ad agency in Southern Calif that produced radio and print promotions for products, services and political candidates for over 60 years.
