Austin Pocus

Detroit, New York, American South, Northern California, old-timey 1920's-era announcers, and my first and best impression, "Hank Hill" of "King of the Hill".

Since my adolescent years, I've prided myself on my ability to do impressions of my favorite characters. I've been told that my voice is extraordinarily deep and powerful, well-suited for voice-over work. During my 2 years at Saygent, a Silicon Valley voice analysis startup, I cut my teeth narrating introductory videos showcasing our technologies. My voice is my instrument, and I love to test its range of ability. Although I have no formal education pertinent to voice overs, I've been training my voice since realizing its potential. I use open source software, such as Audacity, to record and edit my voice overs. My microphone is a simple headset, for now. I'm reasonably knowledgeable in digital signal processing, and applying filters to my work. I have 3 years of professional experience writing software, as a self-taught developer. This experience, especially in regards to audio processing and voice recording at Saygent, has honed my knowledge of digital audio.
