Voice Description

You know that guy in the back of the class? The one who smelled like leather, cigarettes, and coffee when he was 15? That's me.

I can do warm & friendly, upbeat & excited, and all smiles, but I'm most at home sounding kinda amused and condescending.

For Fresno's local amusement park, Blackbeard's, I sound very warm & fatherly.

For New Image Life Coaching I sound big, warm, and friendly.

For the Rockstar/Crossroads concert series I did growly, x-games, ultra-filtered, uh...alt-rock guy.

On the radio I'm conversational, confused, and approachable.

I've been compared to The Dude (not Bridges, the actual character) and Han Solo (again, not Ford, just Han).

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I'm all California...central or coastal. I can also fall into the East Coast/West Coast Media non-accent.

My Training

100% of my training and education has been courtesy of the school of hard knocks. But I haven't survived over a decade in this business because I'm dense.

My Studio Equipment

I'm currently using an ElectroVoice RE20 w/shock mount, processing with an Orban 787A tuned to my exacting demands (or so the engineer tells me), and recording either directly onto CD with a Denon C550R or into a custom digital production machine running Audition and SAW.

Additional Skills

I'm available 24/7 given enough notice and money. I get sick once every two years, and I haven't been late to work in 19 years.

Payment Methods Accepted

• Personal checks, cashier's checks, or money orders in my local currency
• Wire transfers
