Voice Description

My voice is clear and articulate. I do a lot of narration because my inflection and cadence has a natural feel. I can also do a wide variety of characters and caricatures. I can be comical or serious, whatever the project dictates.

My Voice Experience

I have done a lot of narration for both corporate and television. Usually it was as a temp or scratch track with the intent of being overlaid with final VO but occasionally my voice made the final cut.

My Training

I hold a BA in Communications with an emphasis in Public Address. I have a acting background. I am a film and video editor by trade and have written/directed/produced a number of my own projects as well. I play guitar and sing and am a skilled writer. I also have an above average vocabulary.

My Studio Equipment

I am a video editor and own both Avid and Final Cut Pro editing software. I also have Studio Pro. I usually record VO straight into the Avid and do my stringouts and exports from there but occasionally I will use Studio Pro.

Additional Skills

I write, produce, direct, act, sing, edit... but I don't dance so if your project requires that I'm afraid you'll have to look elsewhere.
