For seven years I was the creative services director for a local television station WECT here in Wilmington, North Carolina, and I wrote the copy for and performed literally hundreds of voice-overs for local and regional clients, including Belk, Coca-Cola, Scotchman stores (French "ze inspector" accent), Outback Steakhouse (Australian) a Jamaican fish for a local mall, and many, many others. Then for 10 years, I dubbed Japanese animation into English for a company called Animeigo. I dubbed Ken Nakajima in a series called "You're Under Arrest!" (52 episodes, plus mini-specials and a movie, Kowalski in "Crusher Joe", Zenigata in "Rupan III: The Fuma Conspiracy" and many others. I received my BFA in Theatre Arts from UNC-Greensboro, then attended New York University's Filmmaking Program. I have performed in dozens of plays, performing many different character voices and accents. I have access to a basic Macintosh recording set-up, including Shure SM-58 microphone, recording programs, including copyright-free music library, mixing and special effects features. I was in education for 16 years in film, television, graphics and related fields, and I have extensive background dealing with different personalities and attitudes, I can also write copy for any project. I am very creative in problem-solving and can work very quickly- many times I can perform a voice-over in one take!
