My Voice Experience

My first studio experience in voiceover was doing radio drama at WBAI in New York City in the mid 70's. Soon after that, I moved away from the theater and got a regular job. I rediscovered acting about six years ago, and I've been working regularly ever since. Voiceover is a logical extension to my stage work. My commercial credits include a training film for Labor Ready and a narration for Exclusive Resorts.

My Training

I have a BA in Theater Arts from UCLA. I have been working on stage in the thriving Seattle theater scene for six years. I recently completed an excellent voiceover class with Kathy Levin.

My Studio Equipment

I use a Lexicon Omega 2.0 interface, with Cubase 4.0 software on my PC. I use an Audiotechnica condenser mic. I can export wave files or MP3's, or I can mail a CD.

Additional Skills

In my time away from acting, I have spent over 25 years running several businesses. I understand the necessity of taking pride in everything I do, and in having and showing a professional attitude. I expect this from others, and I know that they expect it from me.
