My Voice Experience

The phrase "you've got a good voice" has been ringing in my ears since the age of 13 when my voice changed. Born in St. Louis, MO, I migrated to Southern California, started my career in radio and have been behind a microphone since the mid 70's. I've been an announcer and production specialist for over 30 years. It was
a great and wonderfull time but as they say off with the old and on with something new. In 1996 I moved to Las Vegas and continued to use my pipes on several of the
cities leading radio stations. KCEP 88.1, KISF 103.5, KQOL 93.1, and others who have depended on my delivery style. Since moving to Las Vegas I have also taken up commercial work and have been featured on television commercials for Walker Furniture, Station Casinos,
Timeshare Inc., Peidmont Federal, Sonic Burger, MTV, Verizon Inc., Sizzler Inc, and of course all the major Las Vegas hotel in-house videos. Also for the last 4 years I have been featured in print ads for the Yellow Pages. Film work includes "Iron Man", "Yonkers Joe," "Oceans 12,". Currently I am working out of my home studio doing voice-over work, commercials and film voice roles.
