My Training

Professional singer. Voice over workshops. I'm constantly performing for my kids. Voicing and producing fully finished audio in over a hundred spots for one of my best clients, ranging from announcer to tons of different voices and characterizations. Narrating and performing as many different characters in audiobooks. I'm not just a voice over talent, I'm a voice actor. Being a musician has also given me countless hours recording experience, as well as mixing and mastering tons of projects. I've also been responsible for audio/visual projects for a major retail outlet. I've been responsible for creating and developing commercials and writing the scripts for these as well as voicing every one of the characters, editing and producing the fully finished projects.

My Studio Equipment

Home studio includes custom built professional sound booth, Neumann TLM103 and Rode NT1A microphones, Focusrite Trakmaster Pro Platinum Series Preamp, dbx 166XL compressor/gate, M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard, Yamaha Near-field Reference Studio Monitors. I use Cakewalk Sonar, Soundforge, ACL, among other audio softwares and tons of plugins.

Additional Skills

I'm very easy to work with and take direction very well. I can voice your scripts or help you write them. Being a voiceover means wearing lots of hats, and you've got to be great at all of them. Conception, performance, recording quality, ability to create and deliver believable, entertaining, informative, inspiring raw or fully produced audio. Having talent and the right voice is one thing, but it's not nearly enough to do the job. Having the experience and the knowledge to drive that voice is essential. My goal is to provide you with the voice and the quality that meets or exceeds your expectations.
