Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I am limited on accents. If you are looking for something other than American/English then I may not be your guy. As far as characters I have a range. I can do big announcer type reads, nerds, old men and a lot in between.

My Voice Experience

I started in Radio but now most of my voice overs are for commercial and imaging. I voice the American version of Bollywood trailers. I have my own production company where I produce and voice spots and imaging for clients everywhere and have done so for about 8 to 10 years. I have voiced spots for many, many clients including Toyota, Ford, Dodge, HP, Halliburton, Sprint etc etc. Radio stations in New York, Dallas, Sacramento and many in between.

My Training

I have Bachelor's degree from Colorado State University in Communication and History and a Minor in English. I started in College radio in 1998. I learned the basics of production there. I was also a DJ way back in the day. I started focusing on voice overs and production in 2001 at a station in Boulder CO. I have worked in Boulder, Denver, New York/New Jersey and now I am based in Dallas.

I have attended many workshops and seminars related to production and Voice overs but my most important training has come from working hand in hand and in the shadow of the biggest voice actors and producers in America.

My Studio Equipment

I have 2 studios.

-Both have a pro tools LE rig with a Neumann TLM-103 mic.

-I work on PC audio workstations.

-I have an ISDN hook up in an engineered sound proof studio.

-I use on board processing with the Waves Gold bundle. I primarily use an REQ and C4 plug-in for VO. I also use the AudioTrack plug. The sound is very clean and can be delivered with as much compression as the client wants (typically not very much).

-I run Omnisphere and RMX for music creation

Additional Skills

I provide custom music for clients. I have many samples you can choose from or we can find something you like and adjust it to give you a completely custom buyout. This is a competitively priced option for smaller/medium companies looking to elevate and customize their brand.
