My Voice Experience

I used to work for Activision and they had me do their telephone help menu system and while working there a girl who used to sit by me was asked what type of Star Wars character was her favorite and she said "Nelson Prince" - me ... because she loved my voice and thought I would make a really cool Star Wars character.

I've done the EVIL bad guy voice in the video game for Heavy Gear II for Activision in 1999.

Phone system menu navigation for Activision in 1999.

Been doing voice over work for over 10 years for my family and friends pro bono for fun.

My Training

My voice changed significantly to a baritone voice in Junior High and so in High School I did a lot of musical theater productions.

Went to college in Austin Texas to St. Edwards University and studied theater under Dr. Charles Ney the theater director at the time in 1999 then finished college in Minnesota with my focus still on Acting / Theater taking classes on voice and diction.

While in college I also did some community access narration for Ground Zero Productions Minnesota under the direction of Michael Andregg PhD narrating his documentary on Crisis In America - Debt.
