Voice Description

I deliver a voice that achieves YOUR message. Soft and confident, or young and hip, crisp, clear, and ageless. Perfect for instructional or IVR, as well as commercial voice over. I also kills the hard sell, sharp and punchy...perfect for the SUPER SALE style spot. I spend a lot of time working to nail the read. I was never told I should become a voice over artist, which works in your favor...because I provide a voice that cuts through the clutter.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I specialize in goofy character voices. I can do a majority of the major 'cartoon show' characters to some degree or another. I also throw down a pretty mean Mickey Mouse. Or Arnold the Govenator. My vampires and ghouls are pretty decent. I do a flawless 'Australian' accent. So, what I'm TRYIN to say here, is if you can dream it up, I can voice it up!

My Voice Experience

Professional voice and radio artist with 10 + years of experience. I've worked for Round Table and Chevy, played Jesus Christ in a documentary, and voiced spots for numerous local advertisers. I also maintain a client list of professional club DJ's that use my services to create their imaging. Voiced On-hold for numerous companies and radio stations.

My Training

I've worked on air for almost 10 years, and have voiced and produced 1000's of commercials, working with my voice, and with other outside voices under my direction. As such, I have a keen understanding of what it takes to nail the tone and strength of a read. I'm also a stage actor and a singer. This gives me a solid performance foundation to work from when doing voice over. I tend to believe voice over is more about the act than it is about the voice. I've also attended professional trainings with the Legendary Dan O' Day.

My Studio Equipment

Adobe 3.0, Heil PR40, Audiocom MDX 1600

Additional Skills

Fully produced with bells and whistles? I can do that.
Multiple takes to NAIL the read? I can do that.
FTP/Web download access for finished product distribution?
I can do that.
And for your longform audio requirements, I can deliver multiple files in one archive, meaning that if you break the script into segments, I will deliver you files in segments. Don't worry about chopping files up!

I have 24/7 studio access and can usually provide same day turnaround and retakes if needed (same day retakes may require an additional fee but can usually be accommodated). I am always near my phone and/or email, so you will usually get a quick response from me!

I look forward to serving your voice over needs.

Cheers!
