Voice Description

I'm a polished voice talent with a warm, deep and serious voice for narrations, a sultry and fun voice for commercials, a smooth and professional approach for corporate presentations or documentaries, oh...and don't forget those "Wacky" character voices...even a woman's voice!

I can sound like an "announcer", or the guy next door.

I can take a bad piece of copy or script, and make it sound great. I might even re-write it for you...

My Voice Experience

I have a wide and flexible voice range, with perfect inflection, intonation and annunciation. (I can even pronounce the letter "W" correctly.)

From industrial narration and documentary work, to crazy characters - from deep, emotive and sincere, to almost reaching a female pitch, I'm versatile enough to do any read - most times in one take.

Radio & Television commercials, web audio, on-hold messages, voicemail & I.V.R, network promos, news openers, image liners, cartoons..."in-store" production for Walmart...you name it! I've done it all.

From the 4 Seasons Hotel in Miami, to Lexus of Manhattan in New York...from regional McDonald's spots and Armor All Products, to your local pharmacy in middle America, my voice has been heard in 100's of markets in thousands of cities across the country, and even outside the country - (Canada, Bermuda, & the Bahamas).

As a seasoned professional, I can bring a high level of experience to any voiceover work you require with quick turnaround.

If you're looking for someone who's easy to work with, fast and friendly, and NOT a prima-donna, then you've just found him. My rates are also reasonable, flexible, and competitive.

My Training

I'm a completely self-taught voice artist, and have spent my entire career in On-Air Broadcast Radio & Television - both as an announcer, and in post production. I have also assisted others with voice over skills to help them get started - free gratis.

As a producer and voice talent, I have extensive experience in production facilites - both in front of the mic, and behind the mixer - producing 1,000's of commercials and audio projects for both in-house and out of house agencies.

I have my own studio facility with plenty of equipment and software to get the job done...fast.
