Torrance Gates

I've done voice work throughout my radio career, and not just on air; I include production work in my background for commercials, promos, PSA's and public affairs programs. News reading and reporting is yet another sub-speciality. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Saint Joseph's College of Maine in Communications/Broadcasting, Class of 1987. In addition, I have a Diploma in Recording & Sound Technology from the Pennsylvania Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, Gettysburg, Class of 2010. All through my radio career, voice work has been a part of the craft, whether putting together commercials, or voicing news packages. It is for me an ongoing experience. Musically, I've been a songwriter and singer in the band Ahltyrra, which ran from 2006-10; the group is now known as the Dharma Fools. I have helped produce and mix demos for my band, and others through PARAS. My studios are wherever I am working at the time; but I also have a Pro Tools 8 set-up on my MacBook Pro computer, plus numerous instruments and related gear. I can essentially set up a studio and record nearly anywhere. I am also a writer, and am currently represented by the Sullivan-Maxx Literary Agency. We are pursuing a publisher for the first of the "Sweet Dreams Series," an Young Adult series of stories, which are also being produced eventually in manga/graphic novel form. My acting career includes independent film and stage, and many years with two casts of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
