Voice Description

Versatile and adaptable voice - spoken as the situation dictates. With a variety of character voices available, my voice has been likened to that of Sam Elliot's and Nick Nolte's. I can also simulate accents from any region of the world. In short, you give me the script, I'll make it sound exactly how you want it.

Over 15 years of experience in major market commercial radio (Boston, MA), syndicated radio, and various commercial clients and advertisers such as: Ski Market, Heinken, Anheuser Busch, Miller Brewing Company, and more.
