My Voice Experience

Radio and TV commercials, PSA's, character voices & institutional and promotional films are in my resume. Several car dealerships, a national bread company (Sunbeam) and other regional spots are also listed. I was recently chosen to be a character voice for a section of the brand-new Hershey Museum (yes ... that Hershey!) and as a patient at a West Coast clinic. I prefer off-camera medical, industrial, TV/radio or promo voice overs. However, I will consider any on- or off-camera projects.

Wrote, produced and announced a series of University of Arizona Symphony concert programs for several years on an Arizona network.

Have written, produced and performed many radio, TV and PSA spots.

My Training

BS in BA; Majored in advertising with a concentration in radio/tv. Attended a semester of radio/TV acting classes. Had an ex-NBC on-air newsman as a professor who helped me with many projects throughout my academic years as well as afterwards. Worked with a NYC voice coach.

Will gladly make demo spots for your projects!

Have worked in NYC, Rochester (NY), Tucson and Phoenix and, now, from home!

My Studio Equipment

Home studio is carpeted and draped and located in a rural locale, providing exceptionally quiet ("dry") recordings.

Marshall MXL USB.007 stereo cardioid condenser mic into Audacity software; Shure dynamic mic through a DAK 2800-PC mixer/fader and using DAK software; Electro-Voice mic for capturing high frequency voice audio with little base (special effects); quality turntable, stereo tape deck and CD player for music beds and SFX and BG work.

Additional Skills

Three decades of airline PA announcements; active in amateur ("ham") radio; played a "downeast" character daily on a Tucson radio station; different "character" voices for commercials.

Will provide short turn-around of material and can affect some post-production work.

Will attempt other VO assignments. What do you have? Let's give it a try and see what we can do together! I truly aim to please. Give me the chance and I'll give you the results!
