Voice Description

I am considered odd by those who know me well.
MPD?? Hardly! Just "MAD". (Multiple Accent Disorder)

I am just CRAZY about flexing the gamut:
from a Gentleman Professional to a Guttural Guttersnipe to a Crazed Cartoon Cadet...
Always gifted with a Sensitive Ear, and a Quick-Study, my voice is adjustably flexible and unusually adaptable.
This has served me for over forty years to create and perfect a remarkable range of character voices, accents and dialects.
Over three Decades, I've had the Honor of Experience as a Character Actor,
now both malleable and accomplished.

PLUS, I've had many “Real”-World experiences and Adventures:
When I was twenty, I lived in Israel for almost two years with the Opportunity to listen to (and mimic) Voices from LITERALLY every Nation.
I then spent a year in England as a Bohemian and Theater Student.
I later returned home to Texas and worked several years as a Real Estate Agent in and around multicultural Dallas.

For the last four years I have been privileged to be a full-time actor.
I am 100% fluent in American and 95% fluent in the Mother Tongue -- English.
Pick any country, region, or ethnicity.

Please, allow me to be "YOUR Voice”!
My articulators will give you systematic satisfaction.

My Voice Experience

Punny and Funny Phone calls, beginning at the age of eight, gave me the initial rush of voice recognition and the power of my communication skills. As I developed into the role of "Klass Klown, Extraordinaire", my first requests for specific voices came pouring in.

During college, I became aware of the fact that I had the Calling to be an Actor.
As I have matured as a professional Actor, the opportunity to perform many roles eventually led me to find my strengths as a Character Actor.

I have participated in several “Reading for the Blind” programs: everything from reading math textbooks to characterizing novels.
Yes, I DO love a challenge.

I was thrilled with the opportunity to perform for the "Texas Radio Theatre Company"! These live radio broadcasts, performed on stage, included classic "low-tech" sound effects mixed with the best audio-tech of the 21st century.

My Training

I studied both Oral Interpretation and Theater at the University of Texas in Austin.

I have studied under Hugh Lampman and have been in a production with David Lambert, two names held in very high regard in the VO industry in Dallas, which is in a little state called Texas, in the USA.

Over the years, first as a stage actor and then adding filmwork and commercials to my resume, my Voice Skills have been earnestly developed with the help of Acting teachers, voice and dialect coaches, and many gifted, accomplished fellow Actors.

My Studio Equipment

I primarily use my home studio. I use an HP Pavilion with an Intel Dual-Core Desktop Processor. This machine is ideal for all types of media processing.

For my recording I use both the GoldWave Digital Audio Editor, version 5.55 and I use the Audacity Cross-Platform Digital Audio Editor, version 1.2.4.

My primary microphone has a Dynamic element with super-cardioid pickup pattern.
It is engineered with a fine neodymium magnet and dual-dome diaphragm.
The Frequency response is: 50-16,000Hz
Impedance is: 300 ohms +/- 30%
The Sensitivity is: -74db +/- 3db

I have the ability to mix in music and/ or sound effects

I can send out my finished product with E-mail, FTP, or ISDN protocols.

Additional Skills

I've been a professional actor since the age of 19.
I've learned in this business that there are no true "Masters", as we can all learn different techniques and skills from each other.
I've taught history for more than 20 years.
I was a real estate Agent for eight years and have conducted business with people from every nation and ethnic group.
I am the associate producer of a group called "Exposure", which is a monthly showcase to introduce new talent to professionals in the industry.
I belong to two "Storyteller" groups.
I attempt to share life experience from all I meet and I also enjoy a mentoring those who are new to the entertainment business and feel insecure about their qualifications in "the Adult World".
I've been a writer for more than 30 years and I do my own copy-writing whenever possible. I have learned that life is too short to define my limits, and that it is much better to "go out on a limb" and learn something new.
