My Voice Experience

When I was a young lad my grandmother took me to meet the great Clarence "Ducky" Nash (the original voice of Donald Duck) since that point I want to give alter, twist, and share my voice. Through my growing years I performed my impressions and characters and then I got into Public Address Announcing for sporting events, you know the guy who says "Please, Rise for the National Anthem" Over the past 10 years I have seen an athletic feet on many fields of play. All the time continuing my craft of stand-up comedy and improv perfomance. I decided to put the voices down on a demo and roll the dice and continue my journey of bringing voices to life. Laugh On!
