I began my voiceover career from the fifth grade on, by playfully imitating teachers for the amusement of my fellow students! (I can even remember my fifth grade teacher calling the very principal that I was imitating, into the classroom to sample the very impression of her)! Yikes!! After that, I began mimicking College Professors, then practically every Boss I ever had the pleasure to work for! A pattern soon began to emerge eventually leading me to the logical career path of being able to talk funny for money!
I wrote, produced, and recorded all of the character voices for the Rocky Stone Show, which premiered in June of 1994 on WERA radio. Rocky was featured during morning drive time, as a "would be traffic reporter" who did traffic reports from a Hot air balloon called "Skyhook One"! He was a neurotic, Woody Allen type voice who was deathly afraid of heights, and was counselled by the base therapist, "Dr. Psyche" and assisted by his trusted companion, "Rusty Pliers"!
Represented by Oppenheim Christie, NYC 1994
I voiced the part of a talking convenience store shelf for a 7-11 training video angrily spitting out the cigarettes that the jobber placed upon the shelf in a Gilbert Gotfreid type snarl!
Also provided the voice for an ancient 1000 year old troll guiding people through a travelling museum exhibit.

Worked for Scholastic Childrens Books in their Book Fair Division...Background in Inside and Direct Sales including copy writing for product support liason.
Will outsource to local studio in my immediate area.
My goal is to ALWAYS service the client and deliver to the fullest capacity possible...period! I believe that my skill sets that I've developed in working with customers in my own business, translate into a Win-Win situation for those that I partner with, to either help sell a product, create a winning campaign, or simply entertain or educate with assorted character voices or vocal styles. I can also go the extra mile with copywriting services and producing efforts.
Bottom line...when all is said and done..and the job is completed, we want that client to remember us..to possibly refer us to others, and perhaps even come back to us for repeat business...over and over... again!
I believe that creating and nurturing relationships (in this economic climate especially) through the process of delivering the goods as professionally as possible so to speak...is what will make everyone happy to book us again! Let's work together!
