My Voice Experience

Political campaign ad for 2010 NY Republican Congressional Candidate Susan Kone. Produced by Sheryll Franko of Falling Awake Productions.

Animated commercial for Vlingo (Weather Man).

I have also been doing freelance work with Jim Kennelly of Lotas Productions, Heather Finn of Frontier Booking International and many more agents, producers and casting directors in New York City.

I also work full-time as an assistant to my coach Peter Rofé at PDR Voice Over Coaching in New York City.

My Training

I first started my training under Peter Rofe' of PDR Voice-Over Coaching in New York City in July, 2010. Since then I have recorded my commercial and animation voice-over reels with them. I have also attended numerous workshops with top voice-over talent agents and producers. These workshops have led to numerous auditions for commercials, videogames and more.

In addition to my first-hand voice-over experience in New York, I graduated from William Paterson University in 2008 with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications with a minor in Japanese language and culture. During these years, I also studied studio production, acting and improvisation.

Aside from voice-overs, I have also been the vocalist for the New Jersey-based Metal band Face Down Dead (now known as "We Deal In Lead"). We have played many high-profile venues including The Stone Pony, Starland Ballroom, The Bitter End and The Crocadile Rock Cafe. We have also been featured and interviewed on several college radio stations including WSOU Seton Hall's Pirate Radio.
