25-Plus years of radio/tv broadcasting as voice talent and on-screen acting as a Newscaster, Radio DJ, and 2 years as a on-camera TV host of an afternoon kids show. I have done voice-over work on commercials and industrials for many corporate clients such as: Tony Lama Boots, MSD Racing Ignition, Chrysler Corporation, & Canon US Air Force Base to name a few. I am the voice of Walt Whitman at the Lincoln exhibit in the Washington DC area. I've taken classes in acting and in voice-overs, but all the years in Radio and TV as talent the best training is 'seat-of-the-pants' schooling! Here's the short form: *Tony Gonzales (former Disney Kids casting director) VO class *Pat Fraley Audio Book class *Started in Radio and Television broadcasting in 1966. Retired from full time broadcasting in 1990. *Worked as a freelance voice at my own production studio *Currently working on location sound in feature films + the occasional background actor. *Focusing on voice overs, based out of my home studio. Mac based system, Pro Tools, AKG C414 mic for voice work - others include Sennheiser shotgun, Saken lavs, Shure dynamic mics, Aphex 230 Master Voice Channel, Aphex 204 Aural Exciter, Lexicon MPX 110 digital processor, Mackie Oynx mixer, Sound Devices 442 mixer, MOTU UltraLite firewire mixer I built my first shortwave radio back in the Telstar/ Sputnik days, which started me on the road to being a first class equipment geek. In addition to broadcasting I have always been involved in the motor vehicle racing industry (motorcycles, cars, watercraft, etc.) as either a racer or behind the scenes. I've owned my own businesses (recording studio, motorcycle racing equipment, etc.) and understand the value of your time as a business person. I had one of the first commercial websites on the Internet back in 1993! () After a sucessful Radio/TV/Film career, I'm now focusing on Voice Acting.
