My Voice Experience

Been an actor on stage for 3 musicals. Two Gentlemen of Verona as Thurio, in Hair as a hippie, and in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, where I played most of the leading characters. In Lives of the Saints I performed as Franklin Sponge, a transvestite gym teacher posing as a nurse. As a child I made some of my own radio shows just to test my abilities.

My Training

7 years of English study at two different colleges where I also studied Linguistics. I am an avid and attentive listener of audio books and radio series.

Additional Skills

I'm a writer/ scriptwriter and good editor. I can get people's attention with my voice and choice of words. My singing voice can alter for any situation and I can hit the mark of a chord once I've learned it. Hard work as a vocal actor is not difficult for me since I can memorize a script before voiceover auditions given 2 hours of prep.

Payment Methods Accepted

• Personal checks, cashier's checks, or money orders in my local currency
