Voice Description

I have a diverse voice that can range from the deep and strong, to smooth and professional, to caring and sensitive to all-out whacky, fun cartoon characters. I believe that I have an aptitude for modeling my voice to client expectations and not resting until my work is met with 100% satisfaction. I have a passion for utilizing my voice talent and simply love what I do!

My Voice Experience

I do not have any voice over experience to date; although, I expect this will change very soon. I have had a desire to perform at a very young age and have routinely used variety in my voice as an almost natural communication technique. Whether it's telling a story, sharing a joke, mimicking a famous person in a news story or simply riffing with other creative friends.

My Training

I have a B.S. in Biology and currently run a real estate company in Florida. However, I never explored a vocation utilizing my God-given voice albeit routinely complimented and commented upon by drama teachers, public speaking teachers, peers and people who would come up to me after, say a wedding toast or presentation. I will admit...I do not have any formal training which I actually believe could be a positive: I am eager teachable and not scared of critique.

My Studio Equipment

I have a Power Mac G5 with Pro Logic 7.0, Mackie HR824 studio monitors and a Shure Beta 58A microphone. I bought all of this for personal music recording, but found it to be a very effective set-up for voice tracks. I also have a high-speed fiber-optic internet connection

Additional Skills

I have taken in a great deal of entertainment throughout my life from any number of sources: movies, television, music, radio, talk shows, video games, theater and live music. I have been a frustrated performer ever since I could walk and found a certain knack at mimicking other voices throughout the years. I have also spent a little time creating my own.
