Voice Description

I have been a Writer/Producer in On-Air Promotions for the past 10 years - who was told his voice on the scratch tracks of his projects "should be on the air!" So, I'm heading to the other side of the mic to share my young, hip, cool sounding voice with you! I can be your best friend - or - that heart warming voice that makes you feel good all over! The PERFECT voice to grab that young audience for commercials, presentations, PSA's, and corporations.

I am represented by Atlas Talent Agency in New York City. 212.730.4500
