My Voice Experience
In the fall of 2008, voice over actors David Markus and John Taylor overheard my Barack Obama impersonation which sparked a chain reaction leading to my being the voice of Obama for the following:

VIRAL VIDEOS:
"Obama vs McCain Dance-Off" : ADR work as Obama. The video garnered over 10 million hits and has been seen on several major broadcast and news publications, including CNN's Anderson Cooper 360.
"Write in Taiwanese PSA Campaign" : Voiced obama as myself on camera. The viral launched online and aired on television here in the US and Taiwan. created much buzz and controversy here in the US and in Asia.
ANIMATED CARTOONS:

GREETING CARDS:

WEBSITES:
Culvers.com : My first job that started it all. For a campaign between two competing frozen custard sundaes that took place during the Obama - McCain debates, I was the voice of Sundae Heath Toffee Bits. My opponent? Sundae Reese E Cup. I won.
