My Voice Experience

My 20 Years of on-air broadcast experience generated tons of mail, but I ignored it all and stayed on the air anyway. That morphed into a flourishing voice over career that's included everything from over 5000 commercials recorded, to off-camera film and TV voice acting appearances, industrial narrations, cartoons, network promos, and audiobooks. But I'll also be thrilled to record your outgoing voicemail message, radio station imaging liners, or daily affiliate promos.

My Training

Yikes. Nothing like learning-by-doing. More than two decades of experience beats a few voice over workshops, no? (In fact, I've directed and taught at several voiceover workshops...) In addition, I work with the best Hollywood voice talent daily, stealing--I mean, uh, "gaining inspiration"--from their work, as they do with me.

In addition, I'm a director of several animation projects, and many commercials and promos. Having worked "both sides of the glass" I can contribute more to your project than just vocal performance (IF that's something you'd find valuable to you).

My Studio Equipment

Telus Zephyr Express, both MAC and PC platforms, protools, SoundForge; my mic is a Senheiser 416.

Additional Skills

I've also worked in the advertising industry as a Creative Director, a Copywriter, and a Producer; and have been on stage in dozens of shows as an actor.
