Over the course of 20 years, I've done voice over for everything from radio imaging to corporate and industrial presentations. I get great satisfaction from meeting the expectations of clients who need a warm, sincere voice. For in-person announcing, I enjoy the role of Wedding Presenter, and playing an important part of a couple's biggest day. The honor of being the chosen host for their reception, and handling the introduction of their closest friends & family, in my opinion, beats "pitching" a commercial product or service any day. Associates degree in Radio and Television Electronic Communications, in Syracuse, NY where my voiceover and production reels are still used as examples of exemplary work. Workshops include the Marbecca Method Master of Ceremonies Bronze, Randy Bartlett's 1% Solution Advanced Microphone Techniques I and II. I've owned and operated a recording studio for over 15 years, as well as a sound design company with several major credits in the recording industry. Full studio with a range of mics: Sennheiser MKH416, RCA 44BX, AKG C414 XLS, Studio Project C1 & others. Preamps: Sound Devices 702, Focusrite/Digi002, Joemeek VC6Q, Groove Tubes Brick. Software: Reaper, Sony Sound Forge 9, Adobe Audition & more. I'm also a professional sound designer with a diverse library of sounds at the ready for commercial production. My work sound design has appeared everywhere from nationally recognized haunted attractions, to hit records.
