I have a background in IT so technology related explainer projects are second nature to me, but that doesn't limit me from sounding like the caring compassionate guy next door for the more conversational reads. My natural speaking voice is a male in his late 20's, early to mid 30's and further described by my voice coaches and clients as neighborly, calm, steady, friendly, and trusting.
My projects have included voicing website landing page presentations, non-broadcast how-to videos, and welcome greetings for phone systems. I've also done some character voices from time to time, and my range continues to expand. I am here to add that special touch in getting your message across and help bridge that gap I thoughts on paper and the spoken word. I keep the skills sharp by training with some of the best and brightest in the industry at Edge Studio in NYC.
When I'm not talking to myself, I spend my time with my two awesome boys Sean and Eoin, and my lovely wife Tara. You can also find me behind a camera lens as I'm also an amateur photographer.
The Career Training & Voice Over Demo Recording Program at Edge Studio in NYC from August 2010 - January 2011.
The curriculum included teleconferences which covered Home Studio/recording techniques, Marketing, Money and Business. Also, in-person workshops that went over different delivery techniques, auditioning scenarios, and acting exercises. Most of my training was under the guidance of an assigned industry professional who provided one-on-one coaching sessions focusing on editing copy, performance, and developing my own style. The final step of the program was the preparation and recording of my demo which took place in January of 2011. I continuously attend webinars, receive coaching, and participate in voice over group gatherings with peers to stay abreast of the advancements in the industry.
My home studio consists of:
Focusrite 2i2 pre-amp
CAD, and Rode microphones
Open source sound editing and processing
Isolation/sound-dampened booth
I am also a hobbyist musician/recording engineer. I have recorded live jam sessions for a friend's band and live concerts of my wife's high school orchestra class.
