Voice Description

I have been approached for three different projects from San Jose and San Francisco State students for narration in Film Projects. I have a naturally deep and smooth voice great for narration, but have a lot of fun with the raspy- movie trailer voice styles. I'm great with inflection and parts that require more emotional voice tones. Commercials, advertising, and narration are where I feel my voice would be used to its fullest.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I'm great at Slovic accents and love impersonating anything that requires a boomy or bassy voice. Car commercials are a personal favorite as well as movie voices.

My Voice Experience

I have beenStage MC is where the bulk of my experience in the voice industry has existed. As well I've had radio interviews and TV spots used for show promotion in my music career.

My Training

I've been a performing musician since the age of 10 and have been teaching, recording and playing shows for the last 17 years. Being a stage MC and writing have become passions that I've been pursuing as recently as the last year and a half with much of my success coming near the close of 2008.

My Studio Equipment

The studio I have regular access to has a KSM27 by Sure, Protools 6.1 and a 3/4 soundproofed booth.
I have two other studios at my disposal.

Additional Skills

My experience as an event M.C. has been very useful for a voice career, but not as useful as my music background.
I'm masterful in the recording process and understand that 2nd chances aren't often offered.
