My Voice Experience

After being a broadcaster for about 5 years, I learned a little about voice work, then I worked as a recording engineer/producer for many years and learned from watching some of the best. I have been doing my best impersonation of a voice talent on and off for about 10 years now and have appeared in a variety of different roles. I also feel like I can direct voice talents to deliver your message as well as anyone.

My Training

U of SD, Brown Institute, see experience above

My Studio Equipment

I have and am quite intimate with a Mac-based ProTools system with some F/X-type plugins. I use ether a Rode MT1A condensor microphone or an AKG 414. A Crown amp and JBL speakers complement. I have some of the BBC sound Effects Library as well as some of the CBS.

Additional Skills

I have my own ProTools studio at home and I'm very good and very fast at editing, mixing and sound design. You send me a script and I can record and edit it, email small files, FTP big ones or burn you a CD and overnight it.
