My Voice Experience

I am a professional musician and audio producer and for years, I've been told that I missed my calling and should have gone into radio. About 10 years ago, I got a call to produce some radio spots for a local nightclub. The client wanted to do an open call to cast the male voice for the spots. He came into my studio and we began to record demo tapes to review to make our choice. After listening to about 50 VO talents, he turned to me and said, "you have an amazing voice, you're on the wrong side of the mixing board, how would you like to voice the spots." Of course I accepted and spent the next 6 years as the "voice" of his club. And the producer of his spots. Subsequently, I've recorded many projects over the years including narrations for corporate training videos, radio spots, and recently some webcast content.

Recent Projects:
voice over and production for the Boston Billiard Club with 7 locations throughout New England

Voice over for AKAMI web ads series

production of music for the American Film Institute "Treasures" video series

My Training

I'm an alum of the Berklee College of music (class of 82) and have a variety of experience as both a performing and studio musician. I have worked extensively in the studio as a performer beginning in the 80's out in LA recording background music for french television until today.

About 10 years ago after I got married, I decided to cut back on my traveling and opened a studio in the Boston area called 7A West. In the past 10 years I have produced hundreds of sessions and recorded a variety artists in pretty much all styles of music (jazz, pop, alternative, classical, improvisational, punk, funk, R&B, hip hop, trance etc)

In addition to my music work, I have recorded and produced music for film and radio commercials, Composed music for theatre and performance installations, and produced 2 CD's with my band Zen Bastards.

My wife and I also own a marketing communications company called CM Communications located in Boston, Massachusetts.

Additional Skills

In additional to my music work, my wife and I own CM Communications a full service marketing communications firm based in down town Boston. Through my association with CM I have experience with client servicing including copyrighting for radio and TV commercials and budget development for production.

Since opening my studio, I am no longer involved in the day to day running of CM, but still work as a consultant on advertising projects as well as maintaining my duties as CFO.
