My Voice Experience

A newcomer with an experienced voice, I've done some Local commercials and sizzle reels for Sony, Budweiser, and Verizon Wireless... Voice overs and narration for advertising agencies and training materials. I've also worked as a creative director and art director in advertising for over 10 years, so I know what is needed from a voice talent, and how to get and cut a solid take fast.

I've also written, and produced VO & music for film, commercials, and videos. I can write and produce music pieces tailor-made to any style. I have worked with Grammy winning artists, including Earth Wind and Fire, War, The Wailers, and Stevie Wonder.

My Training

Voice Actor training from Kalmenson & Kalmenson in Burbank. Graduate of the Audio Engineering program at the Fred Thomas school in Denver. Communications, Speech, and Broadcasting from the Community College of Denver.
Years of real-life education working in the music business, and in Film advertising.

My Studio Equipment

Pro Tools, and Logic equipped studio with a massive library of fully licensed samples, sound effects and loops. I have an array of mics available from large diaphragm condensers, to vintage radio mics, to simple dynamic Shures. I also have guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, and many other instruments available for scoring music. I am very experienced with handling files and editing music and voice.

Additional Skills

Saavy and seasoned pro with a keen understanding, and a lightning fast ability to learn new things. I take good care of my voice, and practice character voices.

I also have years of experience with design and writing work, which helps me focus on clarity of communication.

I am very easy to get along with, and I really appreciate clear communication and direction, I will take note of every bit of guidance, but I'm not afraid to wing-it even with very little direction.
