Voice Description
Having been a performer most of my life I have developed a voice that commands attention as well as sooths listeners. With smooth under tones I can portray a deep and sexy sound or a goofy and off the wall character. With many articulations and an ability to emote on every level I am a worthy sound for almost any production. I often find myself slipping into different characters in every day situations and with levity and emotion I am able to captivate an audience. Be it a silly cartoon mock up or a gritty British punk rocker, I know I have the sound most people are looking for. While I do specialize in blue collar creations I also do well with foreign accents and slap stick style comedic accents. From mellow to dramatic, I am sure I have what it takes do deliver the perfect sound for the project.

My Voice Experience
I have used my voice as a tension breaker and a way to ease any situation it was appropriate. As a DJ in clubs and radio I found ways to make myself seem like a totally different personality so as to have my audience think someone else was there with me. Sometimes, I'm just going for the center of attention too. I can charm a snake or kill a tune, all coming from the fact that I am, for the most part, a child trapped in a mans world. I never take myself too seriously and I have always enjoyed pretending to be someone else. When I worked in call centers I would often answer in a different accent, just to make sure I didn't have to deal with repeat callers whom i may have previously spoken to. Its always been just for fun but I am always being told I should be doing voice over work simply because, for the most part, people enjoy listening to me.
My Training
I am a network engineer and musician by trade. I was master electrician for my high school's drama program and I grew up in a performance driven world. My mother was a dancer and seamstress while my father was a master electrician/carpenter and actor.
My Studio Equipment
Current;y I work from a Windows based non-pro tools environment. I have a full 192khz audio system run into a mesh network with a fully expandable network driven processing bus. I use multiple computers and data farms to pool cpu cycles to fully processes any sound. I work mainly in the realm of open source but have many licenses to common and popular DAW solutions. I do have my own drum and DJ equipment in house as well as a series of synthesizers and drum modules. With a sample bank of over 100 gigs I am never lacking any sounds. I usually rent recording equipment when a professional session is required and prefer to stick with Samson and Shure mics. **I no longer use ISDN based studio broadcast equipment. I find it to be inferior to my own developed transmission protocols.**
Additional Skills
I am a brilliant network engineer and programmer. Currently I am working on my own first person shooter game to which I will be doing all of the voices for.
