I've been doing voices my entire life. Whether on stage during shows, while emceeing events or simply playing around, I've practiced "make believe" and done voices.
I grew up as a die hard video gamer, performer, movie obsessive and all around entertainment junkie. Any chance I had I would mimic the voices I heard and bend new ones with the things I would pick up.
I've had the life experience that allows me to create honest characters in various aspects. From unbound happiness to complete tragedy, martial arts zen states to complete emotional break downs, I've gone through it and can translate it back to my work.
While growing up, I would create characters to use in public, convincing people I was this character, until my parents found out and had me take acting classes.
I am no stranger to characters or the creative process behind them, being an experienced actor, dancer and writer, specializing in characterization.
I have a lifetime of experience creating other persona.
