As co-creator and co-host of "The Angry History Show", my years behind the mic on that podcast helped me develop the vocal discipline to consistently turn out crystal-clear delivery and sustained energy throughout long sessions; you'll note how easy in the saddle I sound and how connected I am to the material. As a live television news producer for years, among my many responsibilities was working directly with the voice talent that would cut the promos for my show in particular ("The Fox Report with Shepard Smith") and the network in general. It's in this capacity that I really cut my teeth in the practical world of VO. Not only would I direct the talent who were reading the scripts that I wrote, but I would often be called upon to cut scratch tracks in the booth. This led to being able to use my own voice in projects I produced for the network. Bottom line: I've been on the producer side for so long, I have a great sense of what's appropriate for broadcast and can take direction very well. I received a double BA degree in Television/Radio and Print Journalism from Brooklyn College, CUNY. I studied acting for two years at the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting, where voice work was a large part of the curriculum. I have completed intensive voice over training at the renowned Kalmenson & Kalmenson. I have access to a state-of-the-art production studio and in my home studio, I have a Blue Yeti Silver Edition USB mic and a Zoom H4N running through Audacity. For projects produced through my home studio, I use Skype to seamlessly communicate with the client's team in real time during the session. I produce and am talent on a very successful podcast and this Skype method has worked perfectly for remote communication while rolling locally on the high-end audio. Again, two decades as a broadcast producer means in addition to the voice, you get the judgement, skill and work ethic that makes every project in which I'm involved, the most important thing to me.
