Voice Description

well, at my old dispatch job i was told at least once a day my voice was: hot, sexy, comforting, relaxed, cool, and of course friendly.
aside from that, i practice in deep dark tones like movie trailers and vampires, salesmanlike gameshow host banter, vintage film reel v.o guy(like 50's -70's instucional films), sultry chocolate voice of seduction, a villanous rasp, calm as the ocean professional tones and a long list of impressions from mickey mouse to ronald regan.

My Voice Experience

"Animal Farm"
Nader Dow
An independant rendition of the classic novel with a modern twist.2 versions were done, one english and one iranian.I played one of the major roles and supplied most of the background chatter.

"No comlpy", "Left wing right fist" and many others that escape me right now were the names of the bands that i recorded with. we played thrash metal, hard core and then funk. in which i played guitar or bass. we recorded at least 4 times using analogue as well as digital.

At a taxi firm i dispatched on the radio for one year where i was kept in check by the c.r.t.c and had to maintain a clear voice and professional atmosphere.

My Training

All the training i accumulated was on my own.
Recording 4+ albums with original material.All of which was overseen buy us the artist and in most cases done by us as well.
Creating, editing and mastering electronic music using "Reason".

Additional Skills

The most important quality in me must be my flexibility. I'm open minded and never tight lipped. Colaboration with me is easy , i never get a hot head and profoundly respect the effort that creators have put into thier works.
presently I'm working on a number of comic book story lines and a couple of sceenplays. i'm desighning jewlery for an up and comming jewler and paint sculpt draw and build anything i can think of.
I've been pursuing art all of my life and i must say that no one thing can give you the edge. One must take bits from every aspect of life, this way art becomes whole.
In the past i've worked supervisor and quality control manager where i learned to ask as many questions and gather as much info as possible for this is the only way to know the real truth.
I've woked as a delivery boy, here i learned to speak to strangers as though they were friends and solve thier problems as they were mine.
And in the taxi office answering the phone and talking to the drivers. I learned here that as long as we work together we can accomplish more than anything.
