My Voice Experience

I was the conscience of the protagonist in “Dark Matter”, a independent film by Chaos Theory Media Productions, in 2007. I appeared to her as a radio announcer.

I was a "studio anchor" and "on location reporter" for fakenewspapers com in 2007, and expect more work in 2008. We make bogus news broadcasts for clients, typically as a gag gift or roast.

I did the voiceover for “Religion In A Box”, an independent film in 2007.

I was the voice of Albert Fish in the film preview for “Gateway to Hell” in 2008.

I was the voice of an elderly bridge spirit in an animated short via Voice123 (http://voice123.com/lv/Student_Animation.html).

I took commercial acting and modeling classes at the Kim Brooke Group in Seattle, WA.

I have had voiceover coaching from Veronica Weikel of Monroe, WA.

My Studio Equipment

I can do all manner of sound effects (machines, animals, etc.) and can even sing (sounding like Otis Readding, Three Dog Night, Elvis, Bing Crosby, and more.
