I began training my voice for dialect vocals and musical theater in college, during which time I acquired a BA in Theatre Arts. I have provided characters with various dialects and accents for university biopics, amateur and professional radio dramas, and audiobooks. My most recent work has included character vocals for the Atlanta Radio Theater Company and narration for audio fiction podcasts such as Pseudopod and Escape Pod. I am eager to provide vocal work for video game projects, and specialize in video game development. BFA - Theater Arts, Armstrong Atlantic State University, 2006 Multiple musical theater vocal classes, student productions, and student produced audio dramas and workshops. BFA - Game Design, Savannah College of Art and Design, 2009 Did not study vocal work at SCAD, but I helped found the student radio program for the Atlanta campus. Dynamic XLR microphone, two-channel preamp, personal mixing board, personal laptop running Audacity or Sound Forge 10. I am passionate about pod-casting and talk radio in addition to more theatrical applications of voice. I am experienced as a theatrical technician and understand very basic elements of post production for audio. My primary career focuses on game design and development, and I leverage my training in screenwriting as a freelance narrative developer and contributor of additional dialogue. I have extensive experience in various forms of customer and client support.
