Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Absolutely none. Well, not entirely true. I do have a native West Virginia accent, if needed. But who the heck wants that?

My Voice Experience

25+ years as a producer, director, engineer, VO talent, and coach.
Commercials, Narration, and Audiobooks. Not real good at animation and characters unless the character is exactly like him. Does Promos also, but not the Voice-Of-God type. The family or romantic comedy or mystery/drama are more like his style.
Owner/Founding Partner - Kitchen Sync Recording, 1976-1986.
Producer/Engineer - Tele-Talent Inc. Voiceover Production House in Los Angeles.
Owner - Hamilton Audio.

My Training

Long Beach City College. Somehow passed, although he spent most of his time trying to get laid. Irrelevant to my current carrer as a Producer/Voiveover Talent/Engineer.
UCLA - managed to flunk out of Art/Design school. Irrelevant to my current carrer as a Producer/Voiveover Talent/Engineer.

Self-taught as an Audio Engineer, Web Designer, and Video Editor.

Training:
Laurel van der Linde, owner - Underground Audio. Former VO agent for Tisherman Agency.
Warren Meyers, owner/founder Tele-Talent Inc., a pioneer in producing spots for Radio and Television via phone patch. Now a premier VO coach and Producer.
