Having begun my training with Alice Elliot at New York University in an in-studio class and continuing with Anna Garduno, a well known voice over artist working in New York and LA, I bring to the process my experience as both an actor and a writer here in New York. I have also been a University instructor for over a decade. I communicate easily, having a good feel for bringing text alive and capturing audience attention. I have done narration for short documentaries and voice overs for PSAs. Studies in Voice training and studio craft with Alice Elliot at New York University Studies with The Anna Garduno Voice Over Workshop - New York City Member of the Shalibakter Rep Theater Company as an Actor and Writer Squaw Valley Screenwriters Workshop - Competitive entry B.A. Claremont Colleges Post-Grad studies at Columbia University I am currently using a sound dampening enclosure, a Samson CU3U USB connected mic, recording directly onto Garageband for conversion to Mp3 or other formats. I can also edit using Final Cut Pro's Soundtrack Pro module. Besides work as an actor and director, I also have teaching experience that spans over a decade. I think the ability to communicate and engage in a warm and friendly way that generally puts people at ease carries over into my recorded voice work and can reach many audiences. Experience in martial arts and other sports disciplines also lends authenticity to spots that imply physicality.
