Voice Description

Unique.

My voice starts from within myself and I build from there by adding some gravel, energy, vulnerability, humor, warmth, love, authority, twang or whatever suits your projects needs.

I can lose the east coast twang and be your average American guy next door, perhaps a young dad or corporate manager for training video's or commercials. I can be your goofy, chatty, friend next door.

I can be HUGE for your next animation project...

Or lay back to Narrate your story.

I can be sexy, tough, sweet, angry, fun, goofy or smooth.

I am different.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I have these authentic East Coast accents constantly bubbling out of my head...New York, DC, Atlanta.

I have lived, played and worked with 'urban' youth for all of my life...so...Urban, street, hip-hop. Occasionally someone will say I sound like Dave Chappelle or Tone Loc. Also, many people argue passionately that the 'My Player' voice for the NBA 2K games is Drake...it is not Drake. I promise.

I love the Brits and how they speak. I am constantly working to perfect the various regional dialects. Challenge me!

Most importantly, for all accents/dialects, I can lay it on thick or subtle. Think dimmer switch, not on-off.

My Voice Experience

I have recorded National and Regional Radio spots for Esurance, Suzuki Rocksmith and Earth Justice (as well as a t.v. campaign for Earth Justice).

I have been in many video games including NBA2K11, NBA 2K12 and NBA 2K13 (as the voice of 'My Player' and motion capture for 2K13), The Walking Dead: Episode 2, Assassins Creed: Bloodline, Assassins Creed 2 (iPhone), Funk Bee Universe, Vaultcracker 2, Devil's Triangle, Gangster 3 and Sandstorm 2: Modern Combat. I recorded a trailer for EA's Godfather 2 video game.

I have done corporate training videos and web animations for VMWare, Hitachi, American Councils for International Education and CLU AThletics.

I have also worked on student animations, films and other various projects.
