Send me a sample of your script and some direction and we'll hammer it out together until you're completely satisfied and you have what you want.

My Training

I graduated with honors from the Colorado Institute in Art in Audio and Video Production and worked my way up the ladder quickly.

Working 10 plus years as an audio engineer/producer on thousands of broadcast and multi-media productions in one of Colorado's busiest and most respected recording studios gave me the understanding of what it takes to be a successful voice talent. I directed hundereds of voice over talent and worked closely with ad agencies, voice coaches, script writers and producers and when the time came to make the transition from one side of the mic to the other I felt confident and at home.

Now, interpreting scripts and taking direction comes second nature to me and is lots of fun. I understand what good production is, both technically and artistically. And I have the experience to help you make your vision come to life.

My Studio Equipment

Computer: Mac G4
Software: Pro Tools 7.4, BarbaBatch (for audio file batch conversion to any format), Reason (for music)
Mic: Audio Technica
Mic Preamp: DBX 286A
Phone Patch: Yes
Quiet personal studio available 24/7.

Additional Skills

My experience as an audio engineer has given me both the technical and artistic skills to produce top quality voice overs that will stand out in the mix.

I also have experience with phone prompts, IVR, audio dictionaries and similar types of projects that require batch converting large numbers of audio files that need to sound good at low resolution.

You might feel more confident knowing that I not only voiced but also produced and engineered 95% of the material in my demo section.
