Plain, None, neutral, Basic US English.

I have produced and voiced a number of commercials, albeit small and local (and more often web), but I think the proof is in the pudding. I graduated with a degree in Cross Cultural Communication, and while on paper I have been working out of field since graduating, in reality I feel like every job has its own bit of cross cultural communication, and I have done everything from teaching school to teaching violin lessons to working on feature films and co-creating and writing a web series. These divergent areas of experience have helped me acquire skills in effective communication. They have taught me the importance of being both concise and precise in writing, and have made me realize that my true passion is storytelling. Voice is one of storytelling's oldest vehicles, and it is likely still the most effective. I consider myself a student of both story and the human voice, having taking a course in sociolinguistics that has forever altered the way I think about speech. All this translates into one guy who wants to deliver you a voice over that will not just serve as a perfunctory read to fill a blank in the audio track, but one that will convey your story to an audience who is eager to hear something that will change their view of the world. Currently I am doing all recording on a Zoom H2. I use Audacity for editing and do have Linux Multimedia Studio which I have used to record rudimentary music beds. My main wheelhouses are film and video production so this has given me an eye and ear for detecting what works in audio and video production, especially in the realm of commercials, trailers and films.
