My Voice Experience

I've worked in a comedy band for years, and we constantly record skits, sketches, bizarre spoken word passages, etc. and are comfortable working with pitch adjustment to create everything from small children voices, sexy females, or elderly persons.

In the last several years I've acted in a few short independent films, one of which involved half the cast re-dubbing lines over some of the shots (including myself). No one in the audience could tell.

Two years ago, I voiced several small roles in "Space Quest IV.5: Roger Wilco and The Voyage Home", an independently created adventure video game for PC. I also coached and directed the narrator, whom was reprising Gary Owens's role (and he did a mighty fine job, I might add).

My Training

Over a decade of experience as an independent ASCAP musician, including live performance, extensive studio recording and engineering, writing, and arranging.

B.A. in Communications, minor in Web Technology from West Chester University of PA. Studies included voice training, public speaking, argument and debate, and acting.

Additional Skills

All of my life, my friends and I have loved doing impersonations. We've constantly studied and critiqued each others' ability to do our teachers, family, friends (and enemies), movie stars, cartoons, and video game characters.

Over the years as a musician, I became adept to pitch, timbre, and tempo. All of which are vitally important to voice acting. I work at a small recording studio with other studio musicians. I also sing in a variety of styles.

I've been a member of Taxi (the world's leading independent A&R company) for years and do submission work for them often, typically to music libraries. Please feel free to contact me if you need any kind of music to back your project. I will be happy to search my catalog or create something new within a very reasonable amount of time.

I've watched quite a lot of anime, and am fascinated by American dubs. I follow my favorite voice actors and love to watch footage of them behind the scenes doing their work. I really love character acting, and want to continue doing video game roles as well as trying my hand... er, voice, at animation dubbing.

I am extremely comfortable working within my favorite programs and with my equipment, and am capable of returning your product quickly and efficiently.
