My Voice Experience

Character voices and humour. That best describes my personality! My experience dates back to grade school where I started acting in school plays, usually getting the character parts requiring accents and humour. I grew up listing to my Scottish and Irish grandparents tell stories of "the old country." In 1992 I started working in radio providing commercial copy writing, commercial voice overs and character voices for the Morning Show hosts when doing humourous phone calls and bit parts. I am also an accomplished musican playing bass and singing.
