My Voice Experience

Character Actor and Studio Voiceover work with actor, director, producer Willie Aames in the "Bibleman" live stage show and video series, Office Manager for Pamplin Entertainment, Kansas City, 1996 - 1997;

Voiceover (add-in) work on re-writes for previously recorded "Bibleman" episodes;

Radio Advertising Voice work (dialog-style) for Pamplin Music and Family Christian Stores, aired throughout the Pacific Northwest during Xmas 1996.

Walk-thru, 'extra' work in "Heimkehr" - (Munich, 1991), a re-make of the 1941 original German drama.

I'm a trained and experienced communicator, easy-going, and fun to work with to dig up some voice you'll like...

My Training

I've always played around with "character" voices and accents and (cliche as it sounds) folks regularly suggest that I do voices or comedy;

As a vocalist and acoustic guitarist, I've spent a lot of time working on vocal modulation to communicate a wide range of feelings.

I'm a highly-trained and experienced communicator - from a career in US Intelligence. I have years of intensive study in the German and Russian languages at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey and Munich, and functioned in those languages for about 10 years (during the 70's, 80's and 90's) while working throughout Western Europe. One might ask, "So, what's the point Mart?"... I appreciate intimately and can accurately recreate European efforts to communicate in English. (Please see Additional Skills, below)

My Studio Equipment

Digi 002 and Pro Tools LE on a Mac system; Neumann Microphones: M 147, TLM 170, KMS 105; Pendulum SPS-1 mic pre for vocals and/or acoustic guitar; variety of ProTools plug-ins, in particular for voice-over work - Microphone Modelling.

Additional Skills

ProTools 101 & 110 Training Courses, (Nashville, Spring 2007); I am piecing together and learning to use my own "home studio", currently consisting of; DigiDesign 002 & ProTools LE 7.4 (Mac) w/ variety of mixing and editing Plug-Ins; three Neumann mics (M-147, TLM-170, and KMS-105); Solid State Logic Super Analogue (XL9000) Quad Mic Preamp; Pendulum acoustic instrument and vocal Mic Preamp; pretty nice start...

Presently the coordinator and spokesperson for a national agency program, I am a frequent public speaker and continue to fine tune my verbal communication skillsets during thousands of hours of briefings, debriefings, and public speaking engagements;
