Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I sound American...Midwest. However, I grew up in Boston - so I have that in my back pocket. I speak terrible German - but try as hard as I possibly can, so I can understand what my wife is saying when I piss her off. Most of my phony accents suck - but oddly enough, I've found that the "crappy accent" is almost what most voice-seekers actually seek. Oh, and I used to think I did a pretty good Johnny Carson...want to hear some Carnac?

Additionally, I've hosted televison programs and specials, emceed hundreds of events, concerts and corpoate programs. Since 2001, I've been the "Voice of Tennis" for the USTA - heard during the U.S. Open Tennis Championships each Summer in New York, and throughout the year at Davis and Fed Cup Ties hosted by the United States.

Additional Skills

With "LIVE" voice-over and on-camera emcee experience, especially with the U.S. Open Tennis Championships in New York every August and September...I completely understand what it's like to work under pressure with immediate deadlines - and how important it is to sound natural, remaining conversational under stress.

Live voice-over's a lot more exciting and challenging - DON'T SCREW UP! Or better still, know how to handle it in an entertaining way when you do...

See you at the Open!
