Voice Description

My regular speaking voice is very deep and authoritative. With that I can do "The Announcer" read, narrations, promos, and trailers. I can also do the "scary read" for Halloween spots and all things relevant.

Smooth, sexy, and fun are other characteristics to my voice for commercials and the "guy next door" characters.

And for those hard selling reads I can bring out the commanding and serious tones.

I started out taking voice over workshops at The Community Artists' Guild in Los Angeles from working actors Duane Shepard, Keith Holliman, Raphael Noble, and Wendy Braun.

I've also taken workshop from Susan Palyo at VoiceTrax West in Studio City, The Cashman cache of voice-acting at Cashman Commercials in Burbank, and Kalmenson & Kalmenson in Burbank.

I'm a classically trained actor and I studied three years at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Hollywood.

While in college, I was a live news anchorman for the weekly public access news show at Comcast Cable in Cypress which broadcasted over a few Orange County cities.

At Cypress College I participated in the jounalism department, which led to me doing the morning radio show on campus.

My Studio Equipment

My home equipment consists of a NT1-A Rode microphone, Tascam audio interface, and Audacity audio software.
Its a very basic set up but I have access to many studios in and around the Los Angeles area if need be.

I used to emcee for about eight years for a DJ copmany based out of Long Beach California called Cool Sounds Mobile DJs on weekends.

I'm also very proficient in the art of beatboxing. A unique art form of mixing beats, melodies and various other sounds strictly with your mouth.
