I began my voice career as a dj at the USC student-run radio station in 2001, recording voiceover for station promos and PSAs. In 2004, I moved into professional broadcasting at Clear Channel Fresno, for whom I was both an announcer and a producer, hosting numerous shows and voicing promos, imaging, and commercial spots. I left Clear Channel in 2006 and have been a freelance voice talent ever since, voicing web cartoons and television spots for companies throughout the Los Angeles area. While I have no formal voice education, Clear Channel Fresno was a lot like radio school. I spent every waking hour at that station, learning how to articulate well, how to deliver a message clearly and succinctly, how to modulate my voice, and how to perform correctly for different styles and media. Since then, in addition to the countless voiceover projects I have completed, I have performed as a stand-up comedian at venues throughout Los Angeles and worked with two separate production companies to write, film, perform, and edit numerous shows and podcasts. I have a small studio consisting of a MacBook and an M-Audio firewire interface with two XLR inputs and two 1/8" inputs. I record on an Audio Technica condenser mic and edit most projects in Adobe Audition. (I have Logic as well, but only use it for projects that thoroughly involve music.) As a dj at KRZR in Fresno, I spent every spare moment I had in the prod room, learning and practicing with the production equipment. Within a year, I was writing and producing station imaging without assistance. I have also written and recorded numerous podcasts/sketches for various entertainment websites. I am a good editor with proven writing skills.
