There are no limits to the characters performance we can achieve. I will look learn and listen to all versions, tones, presences, personalities, and gestures while creating a performance. algae, amoebas, amphibians, annelids, birds, crustaceans, fish, fungus, grasses, herbs, insects, mammals, micro organisms, molluscs, reptiles, shrubs, trees, vines, as well of different types of man from all over the world.

Although I have been doing this all my life for fun, I was influenced by morning radio in a comedic satirical slapstick sense of humor. Research and development has influenced a learning based yearning for understanding of ones self by the means of a near infinite compendium of knowledge tools and technology. I studied at Art Institute of Ft Lauderdale where I obtained my BA in Computer Animation now known as Multimedia Arts and Animation. I attended Siggraph numerous times getting hands on training with some of the most amazing technology I have ever seen or heard. Education in these fields as well as snow sports training has become part of my everyday life. In the process I have learned how to create audio, visual, web based, personal learning and entertainment scenarios. I have always had a strong interest in the study of visual design, this lead to the study of audio and I am fluent in the two mediums. Helping others in a quest for success taught me the true meaning of understanding as I pursued my higher education. The first official project was a commercial for college in our intro to audio course, most of the students created a serious product commercial, our group took a humorous approach to promoting our products much like a morning radio satire show. we hit the jackpot and had our whole class laughing. The introduction of new friends after college led me to a journey down a so called haunted road and after listening to everybody's version of what they thought and heard what had happened, I created a demo trailer of what was in my mind. One day I decided when everyone was in my vehicle to play it on the cd player. After everyone heard it, they asked me where I had it made, then I told them I had made it the night before, they replied, "you made that"? the voices were all mine and I had altered some of the sounds using audio editing programs to achieve certain desired effects. I have an abundance of stories to tell, some in my imagination and some from life experience, now it is just a matter of knowing the right people. DAVID J.

I have access to Audio Visual studio equipment on the East Coast and the West Coast. The technologies are audio and video editing suites with sound boards and workstations with 3d capabilities. The use of a workstation is great but I prefer my personal laptop so that I can work where ever and when ever I please. When giant files are accrued, this is when I will sit down front of a desktop workstation and render. My clients should know that I think outside the box and that I can create a workable idea with the people and things around me even if no technology is present. I can work on any project because I believe in myself and others. Every person and situation may desire a certain adjustment of technique or character and I am up for the challenge. As a trainer, teacher, instructor, I know how and when to be malleable to the situation, I have worked with open minded take the ball and run with it clients as well as it has to be done a certain way types, these are usually the times when we change things around a bit, I have also worked with people with learning disabilities and people who speak another language, no matter what the situation, I am confident that we can communicate our ideas effectively.
