Voice Description

rICH, INVITING, SENSUOUS, FUNNY, GOOFY, INTELLECTUAL, SEXY, MANLY ARE SOME OF THE WORDS WHICH BEST TYPIFY MY VOICE. i CAN BE SERIOUS OR HUMOROUS DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF NARRATION. i CAN ALSO MODIFY MY VOICE TO DO VARIOUS CHARACTERS I.E.ANIMATION FILM. wHAT PROBABLY HAS GIVEN ME WHAT i FEEL AND OTHERS HAVE STATED IS AN EXCELLENT SPEAKING VOICE IS MY FAMILY HERFITAGE. i COME FROM A LINE OF SINGERS. mY FATHER WAS tOMMY mERCER BIG BAND SINGER IN THE 40'S AND 50'S WITH THE dORSEYS, RAY ANTHONY, EDDDIE DUCHIN. FORTUNATELY I INHERITED THE GIFT AND I AM A WORKING PROFESSIONAL SINGER IN SOUTH FLA. MY NATURAL VOICE AND VOCAL TRAINING, I SANG OPERA FOR TWO YEARS BUT AM PRIMARILY AN R&B/BALLAD VOCALIST, GIVES ME AN EDGE, i WOULD THINK FOR NOT JUST SPOKEN VOICE OVER WORK BUT THAT WHICH REQUIRES A SINGER. MY VOICE IS MY MAIN INSTRUMENT IN MY PRIMARY PROFESSION AS A PHD IN CLINICAL AND DEVELOMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY, WHERE SPEAKING IN A CARING AND SENSITIVE MANNERF IS PART OF MY WORK. ALONG WITH ENGLISH, I SPEAK NORWEGIAN RELATIVELY WELL, HAVING LIVE, STUDIED, AND WORKED IN NORWAY FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS. ENGLISH IS MY PRIMARY LANGUAGE AND I CAN READ SPANISH RELATIVELY WELL FROM A SCRIPT. I THINK IN SUMMARY MY VOICE IS WELCOMING, NON-THREATENING, FUN AND CAN BE SERIOUS, MAKING A POWERFUL STATEMENT WHEN CALLED UPON.

My Voice Experience

AS STATED ABOVE MY PRIMARY CAREER AND EDUACATION IS IN THE FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGY AND CONSULTING. i HAVE DONE NUMERFOUS PUBLIC SPEAKING ENGAGEMENS IN MY CAREER AS A THERAPIST, PROVIDING PRESENTATIONS AT LOCAL AND STATE MEETINGS, BEING A PRIMARY PRESENTER AT PSYCHOLOGICAL CONVENTIONS, ETC. i AM THE AUTHOR OF TWO BOOKS AND HAVE DEVELOPED A THEORY ON TREATING MEN IN THERAPY. SO MY VOICE IS USED CONSIDERABLY BOTH AS A CLINICIAN AND A PUBLIC SPEAKER. i HAVE DONE BOTH RADIO AND TV IN THE SOUTH FLORIDA AREA AND ACTUALLY HAD A SHORT-RUN TALK SHOW ON A CABLE NETWORK WHERE I WAS BOTH HOST AND VOCALIST. i HAVE SUNG IN FRONT OF A VARIETY OF AUDIENCES, BOTH IN NIGHT CLUBS AND SUPPER CLUBS., AND MANY YEARS AGO WAS HONORED TO BE FEATURED ON AN ALBUM WITH MY DAD, TOMMY MERCER, BIG BAND SINGER FOR THE FABULOUS DORSEYS. uPON HIS PASSING IN 2001 I TOOK OVER HIS LEGACY AND HIS BAND, THE TOMMY MERCER ORCHESTRA. SO MY VOICE IS USED OFTEN AND THOUGH I NEVER ACTUALLY WORKED IN THE VOICE-OVER INDUSTRY, AFTER MUCH PROMPTING BY FRIENDS AND FAMILY, I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY. i CONTROL MY SCHEDULE IN BOTH OF MY OTHER CAREERS, AND THOUGH QUITE BUSY, I FEEL THAT VOICE-OVER WORK COULD COMFORFTABLE FIT IN. i ENJOY BEING BUSY AND HAVING NEW CHALLENGES AND GOALS.

My Training

THIS IS KIND OF A DITTO OF MY EXPERIENTAL SECTION. THOUGH NOT TRAINED TECHNICALLY IN THE VOICE-OVER BUSINESS I AM A TRAINED VOCALIST AND HAVE PERFFORMED JUST ABOUT ANY TYPE OF MUSICAL GENRE, FROM CLASSIC ROCK AND BIG BAND/SWING TO LIGHT OPERA AND MUSICAL THEATER. I HAVE HAD THE PRIMARY LEAD ROLE IN SUCH SHOWS AS THE KING AND I AND THE MIKADO, SO I'VE HAD TO WORK ON MY VOICE MODIFICATION TO FIT THE ROLE. ACADEMICALLY, THOUGH A PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR IN UNDERGRADUAE SCHOOL (UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA), I ACTUALLY SELECTED THAT INSTITUTION BECAUSE I RECEIVED PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS IN BOTH MUSIC (NOT FOR VOICE, BUT FOR PERCUSSION, WHICH I FEEL MY VERY GOOD SENSE OF RHYTHM COULD ONLY BE AN ASSET TO VOICE-OVER WORK) AND JOURNALSIM. I HAVE A TALENT FOR WRITING AND HAVE WRITTEN TWO BOOKS IN THE FIELD OF MEN'S ISSUES AND CRITICAL INCIDENT DEBRIEFING: "LITTLE BOY LOST" AND "CRITICAL INCIDENT 911", AN ACCOUNT OF FIVE DAYS OF ONSITE COUNSELING THAT I ADMINISTERED IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING THE TWIN TOWERS ATTACKS. I AM ACTUALLY REWRITING THIS BOOK FOR THE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 911 EVENTS. I ALSO HAVE TWO MASTERS AND TWO DOCTORATES IN THE PSHYCHOLOGY FIELD AND HAVE SPECIALIZED TRAINING IN THE FIELD OF HYPNOTHERAPY, IN WHICH I HAVE DONE I GUESS WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED ONE OF MY CLOSEST VOICE-OVER PROJECTS, THE PRODUCTION OF HYPNOSIS TAPES FOR SMOKING CESSATION, IMPROVING YOUR GOLF GAME, FIGHTING CANCER, AND REDUCING STAGE ANXIETY FOR PERFORFMING ARTISTS, AS WELL AS TAPES ON SELF-ESEEM AND WELLNESS. I HAVE ALSO DONE NUMEROUS MUSIC RECORDING SESSIONS OVER THE YEARS IN MY OTHER LOVE AND PASSION, THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND PERFORFMANCE.

Additional Skills

I FEEL I HAVE GIVEN A PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE ACCOUNT OF BOTH MY EDUCATIONAL, TRAINING, AND EXPERIENTAL BACKGROUND IN BOTH THE PSYCHOLOGY AND MUSIC CAREERS, AS WELL AS MY WRITING AND MEDIA WORK. I THINK TWO OF THE OTHER INFLUENTIAL AND REWARDING AS WELL AS HUMBLING EXPERIENCES IN MY LIFE IS MY ON-GOING JOURNEY AS AS FATHER FOR MY THREE KIDS, NOW ALL ADULTS. THEY HAVE BEEN CONSTANT JOYS, AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES AT TIMES, AND I THANK THEM FOR THEIR ON-GOING MENTORSHIP. THE OTHER EXPEFRIENCE I MADE BRIEF REFERENCE TO WHICH HAS DEFINITELY EXPANDED MY WORLD-VIEW WAS AS A YOUNG MAN LIVING, STUDYING, WORKING, MARRYING, DIVORCING, BEING A SINGLE DAD, DATING, TRAVELING THROUGHOUT EUROPE, WHILE I WAS A RESIDENT IN OSLNORWAY. LEARNING ANOTHER LANGUAGE AS YOU LIVE IN THAT CULTURE IS QUITE A GROWTH-PROVIDING EXPERIENCE, FEELING LIKE YOU ARE A SMALL CHILD UNTIL YOU REALLY BEGIN TO MASTER THE SPOKEN WORD. FROM A PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL STANDPOINT, IT WAS VERY IMPACTING AND CHALLENGING, ALMOST LIKE DISCARDING MY ORIGINAL EGO AND PERSONA FOR A BRAND NEW ONE.
