I began unofficially voicing characters in my own Flash movies in 2004. The voices were pretty much the only redeeming quality of the movies. I lost my Flash software in 2007, but continued practicing by compulsively talking to myself, saying everything I thought about. While this has rendered me near incapable of thinking silently, it has also allowed me to think what my character is thinking. This removed any monotone voices, or droning. I continued my voice overs in Mattituck High, where I did various voice overs on their news program, including fights between nothing and another instance of nothing, interviewing nothing, describing in excruciating detail the symptoms of chlorine poisoning in a calm and happy voice. My most recent work was am unfinished product in an online game, Second Life, which would imitate CL4P-TP (a character from a video game called Borderlands) and give info on the grid.
I gained most of my training either through elementary and middle school chorus, or high school films. I hope to do voice overs in my new flash movies, as I am now able to use it again.

I'm also good at timing, editing sounds, and expressing the correct emotion required.
