Voice Description

My Natural Vocal Brand can be described as a friendly, happy-go-lucky, warm, reassuring gosh-o-shucks Southern guy, definitely not “hillbilly” or redneck-ish.

That being said, I can turn on the authentic Hillbilly or Redneck in a flash, if the need arises.

Additional Skills

I have put 16 years in broadcast television & video production as an editor, compositor, quasi-producer, and (back in the old post-college days) a shooter, grip, & production assistant.

I was cast in an on-spec pilot for an animated series that was being pitched to HBO & Showtime, called "Negative Space." In addition to the pilot, 2 additional episodes were written and I performed multiple characters in both, one of which was the title character.

I also have been an extra & "featured extra" in a few films shot around Atlanta.
