Voice Description

I can do an upbeat, fun energetic presentation for a fast food chain, a hard-driving tough, almost country voice for a pickup truck commercial, or an upscale professional "Wall Street Journal" presentation for a mutual fund. I can do a rockn roll voice for a collection of top 40 hits. Or a nice warm easy voice that can make you nostalgic for chocolates with that old-fashioned taste. Or crazy station breaks.

Additional Skills

I think it is important to keep in top physical shape to do commercial acting and voiceovers. So I exercise, walk and try my best to keep trim. I also take an acting class once a week and keep in touch with other actors by working as a background actor with Central Casting. I also work as a freelance writer. I have done several freelance PR jobs for clients.

I am a history buff, since I was a child have read everthing I could get my hands on about the American Civil War. I love history. I'd love to do narration for the History Channel. Or the Discovery Channel.
