I discovered my talent as a boy and would always mimic several different cartoon characters, not to mention the very unique characters of those I encountered. Of course this was an extremely enjoyable outlet for me and for most people around me when I would perform. I've worked in various Japanese animations, German to English dubbing, walla groups (performed background voices of background actors/extras in movies) and other small tv commercials and viral web videos like "Indecent Proposal" (Google it). This fascination with character voices and impressions had to be honed. That is when I decided to get real training and real experience in Burbank, CA at The VoiceCaster. I received professional training from Huck Ligget and Kat Kressida both of whom are very seasoned and well known in the VO community. Huck coached me through VO for commercial work primarily and Kat was all about animation. The highlight of the class with Kat was "voice-matching". I had the task of matching Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid which was performed in front of a Disney casting agent. Macbook Pro with Logic, Soundtrack and Garage Band. I can also add loops and sound effects to any of my recordings. Delivery method is at your discretion but most common is AIFF or WAV files. I have various mics but my favorite right now is the Yeti from Blue. I am passionate about all aspects of film and video production of which nearly ALL of them have a need for voice over. I also am a videographer so I understand the importance of great visuals. "Audio is half of what you see" -Matthew Dunn
