Additional Skills

Along with being an actor, I am also a professional animator. I am immersed in the whole process from editing different takes, choosing which lines work the best, to animating to the strongest performance. I know what kinds of voices work well for animation and which do not, as well as what kinds of pacing and inflections are needed. If the acting is not in the performance, it will not be heard in the voice.
