My Voice Experience

I have not only voiced a variety of radio and television spots across the country, but have also provided voice over work and promo voice work for national and internationally syndicated television programs.

Corporately - I have had the opportunity to voice content for major national events, and for several major corporations and government offices across the country.

My education background includes marketing and performing arts management accreditation as well as a variety of radio, marketing and technology based courses.

My Studio Equipment

Production is done on 2 iMac 24" units utilizing 8gb of RAM and 2TB of storage.

I use a wide variety of Behringer mics and processors depending on the requirements of the scripts and type of read.

Production is done on Adobe Audition and ProTools.

The quality of the voice work and over all production is radio and TV - on-air ready and can be delivered cold or produced, raw or processed depending on the needs of the client.

Additional Skills

Having the great opportunity to record and produce from a home studio on a full time basis allows me to deliver on time and usually under budget. This combined with a genuine love for the art of voice over and a passion to deliver exactly what the client needs makes this the best job in the world.

With a strong marketing background based on experience and education I understand what a strong voice can do for a campaign, presentation or promotion and after learning about the needs of the client, can offer suggestions or provide the content exactly in the direction required.
