Voice Description

My voice has an energetic, positive, fun tone that will catch the audience's attention for your commercials.

If the script casts the regular guy next door that's having a casual conversation, that's me.

I can also offer sarcastic, or deadpan, puchlines when there's a call for a comedic role.

I have a deep, gravely intensity for your station voice. And, the ability to project for those BIG promos... Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

For narration and presentations, I provide a warm, fluid, relatable delivery. Not just the facts.

My Voice Experience

I began my voice over career as a young boy imitating the voice guys on the series of movie trailers that were at the beginning of VHS tapes. Remember those? I found myself more interested in the trailers, rewinding and playing them over and over numerous times before the actual movie began. From there, I began using my voice to narrate my own life as it unfolded. My parents called it creative and immaginative but the other kids called it weird.

The following years, my voice lead me to creative avenues such as writing, film production, and radio. For the past 9+ years I've been in the broadcast profession as an on-air personality, voice over and production. My voice over work has contributed to countless radio commercials such as rocking music festival advertisements, screaming car commercials for Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki, whispery every day man reads for Harley Davidson, fun and energetic spots for Little Caesar's Pizza, and more.

I've also had the opportunity to be the on-camera talent and voice for the film community such as acting and voicing a commercial for Camcord@Large, and voicing the movie trailer for the Northwest produced film, "Kung-Fu Joe".

As my talents grow and expand, I continue to be able to adapt to whatever the copy calls for.

Additional Skills

With 9+ years in radio broadcasting, I understand the process of producing a varity of different voice over projects. From the original concept and emotion, to the script, to the voice work, to the finishing touches of production.

Also, with a background in creative writing and film, I understand that each copy or script has a character within it. It's important to know that character to properly transfer it in the voice over.
