My Voice Experience

My most interesting voiceover jobs so far have been for Lucky Brand Jeans and Svedka Vodka. For Lucky Brand, I was the announcer in their holiday radio spot which substituted their product for the lyrics in a popular holiday song. For Svedka, I was the narrator for an internal industrial video. Both were a lot of fun. I have also worked with a voiceover coach from a casting agency in New York. I've learned a lot from his extensive experience as a voice actor and casting director.
