Voice Description

I have a versatile voice having spent the last 20 years doing comedy around the world as one half of the super silly Australian duo Los Trios Ringbarkus. Settling in LA in the 90's I learnt the subtleties of the US accent yet retained my Australian twang when needed. I go for the out-there characters, loud, crazy, silly and varied and original but also I do have the chops to sell in a more refined manner although my voice is not the "deep throat" you may be looking for.

My Voice Experience

As I mentioned I was in a comedy duo for many years travelling the world. We landed in LA and snarled deals with Columbia Pictures, United Artists and Paramount to develop features (which were never made!) I starred in the Australian movie "Ricky and Pete" and "Garbo" and back in the US "The Nutty Nut". I have secured talent deals for TV with NBC, Warner bros, Castlerock and Fox TV and even got to make my own pilot with Simpsons writer John Swarztwelder as EP. My last project was with Anthony Edwards as EP on a pilot for NBC. I appeared on "Friends" "Ned and Stacy" and even on that Erkle show...Worked with Shelly Duvall god bless her and many more I don’t care to remember. I moved back to Melbourne, had kids and now feel like I can actually speak to people without dribbling. I acted in a Burger King with Peta Wilson on her first job ( at that stage she couldn’t get out of the car and speak at the same time - it was a long day, Hi Pete!) and of course Outback Steak House. I have been doing voice over here in Melbourne for TV and Radio for several years, appearing in commercials and writing features and TV shows. I am happy to say I continue to hold the dribble off, especially when I type on my new Mac Book Pro.

My Training

I trained to be a teacher of Drama but went on to tour as a comedian for many years. In New York I worked with the Carol Fox Prescott from the Actors Studio and in LA with Margie Haber in her tremendous Cold reading classes. I worked with Scott Kellman - a wild and free spirit held high end and hard edge Improvisation Class's at the 4th Street Theater in downtown LA and the detailed Allen Parton - US Accent Class.

Additional Skills

I have tremendous skill in physical comedy, but I suppose your not interested in that. Mime either... Um.....I think I’ve said it all. I am a producer as well here in Melbourne so I understand time tables, deadlines and budgets. I am interested in the BIG, the Funny and the character challenge.
