My voice over work has been extensive (lifelong) and yet I remain a "Fresh Voice."
As a young boy I became frustrated at being confused with my mother when answering the telephone. This was the beginning of my private voice over work. I developed a lower voice and tinkered with getting the reactions from callers that I desired.
Later, in nearly everyjob I have had my voice abilities took me one step further. In the Air Force I was a German linguist. After hearing my voice, I was assigned to giving base tours to foreign press. After leaving the Air Force working in administration I was constantly given tasks that brought my voice to light. These tasks have ranged from setting up office voice mails systems to addressing audiences of up to 1,000 people and have appeared on CNN.
Currently I am a volunteer reader at St. Mary's on the Lake Hospital. I read exclusively to palliative care patients.
Friends have nicknamed me F.M. I found the nickname satisfying. It was and is confirmation that the little boy does not sound like his mom!

N/A at this time
I'm a world traveler and love to sail and boat. I speak fluent German and am proud to say thatt I have such a command of the German language that I speak without accent. In addition I have a trained bass singing voice and can read music.
I am financially stable and have time galore for work/travel. I'm looking forward to using my natural voice talent and enjoying what I do,while doing it. I think enjoying what you do always comes out in your work.
