My Voice Experience

I have been a working voice-over artist since 2001. I started out doing industrials for local Philadelphia corporations like Wyeth Ayerst and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, graduated to local commercial spots for area collges, added a national 60-second commercial for Golf Magazine, then became the voice of Nextel's direct marketing from 2001-2002.

While continuing to do industrials for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, I did some statewide spots for the NJ Do Not Call list, updated the Golf Magazine ad, and threw in some regional radio ads in California for Villeroy & Boch china.

Since 2005, I've been doing consistent voice-over work for The Vanguard Group, recording industrials and web-based training narrations, and I'm currently the male narrator voice for their Plain Talk on Investing podcasting series. Also since 2005, I have been an on-air guest at QVC, representing Sharper Image products during live television appearances.

My Training

After obtaining an English degree from the University of Pennsylvania, I worked on feature films in Philadelphia as a PA, and was recommended to a casting agency by numerous people who commented on my voice. I met with Joanne Joella at Mike Lemon Casting, who currently runs JoellaArts in suburban Philadelphia. I worked with Joanne for months to develop my craft, and booked numerous jobs during that time. My time with Nextel provided on-the-job training, as I was on mic about every two weeks for a year, recording new marketing messages and learning as I went.

The past two years on QVC have been a great experience in developing my voice talents, as well as my live presenting skills. Live television adds a whole new dimension to my performances, and nearly every QVC Host with whom I've worked has commented on live tv about my voice quality.

Additional Skills

Despite having done hundreds of hours of voice-over work over the past 6 years, I've never made it my full-time career. I currently work full-time as a Communications Consultant. I have sometimes been asked to put my writing and editing skills to use while on a job, as copy changes were necessary, and producers have accepted my input. I never offer unsolicited comments, however, and only chime in when asked.
