Voice Description

Mine is a passionate voice, on the raspy side of the spectrum. It has been described as a divine whisper, melodic echo, one of a kind, silky smooth, sweet and sexy, with tremendous emotional depth and theatrical range. From cool to quirky, subtle to rambunctious, silly to sublime, an Intriguing and Sensuous voice, superbly suited for narration, character/ animation, and promos.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Being born and raised in the melting pot of the NYC area, I grew up immersed in the sounds and flavors of countless cultures, in addition to the family vacations in the deep south and my travels throughout the States. Naturally, I've developed a good ear for accents and dialects, and jumping from one to another is almost second nature. I live a diverse, intense yet playful life of varied interests, and I love cinema and animation with a passion. I'm constantly discovering new characters in my voice, which seem to spontaneously emerge at any given time.

My Voice Experience

My voice work has been as varied as my hobbies and interests, ranging from my experimental one-man-voice-theatre podcast, to emceeing/DJ'ing at clubs and parties, and hosting my own college radio show and newscast. I've been in front of a mic in some capacity or another for over 20 years.
