My early training in high school drama laid a foundation for my attention to voice. I have played a variety of characters including an old Scottish man (Brigadoon), a snobbish Brit (Blythe Spirits), a Brooklyn tough guy (Harvey), and variation on Peter Lorre (Arsenic and Old Lace). In college, I did street skits where developing comical and sinister characters were among my specialty. Performing in public required a strong voice that carried throughout the college square. When I published my first novel, How Deep Lies the Shadow in 2008, I decided to create a Youtube video promo, and had a lot of fun blending my sinister narrator voice with special effects and original music. I've dabbled with podcasts and recorded an audiobook of How Deep Lies the Shadow. In 2008 and 2009, I did a series of monthly radio commercials promoting Olympia, Washington's First Friday community events for local businesses. I began creating video tutorials for Amazon provided voice overs to explain services and demonstrate how to use online tools. I've also done my share of singing. Most recently, I've been performing with my church in both the choir and as a soloist for special events such as Fourth of July and Easter. I've had a number of solos in our Christmas musical and have been invited to sing at our Couples Cafe on Valentine's day, with my repertoire include some Sinatra tunes, Nat King Cole, and Harry Warren. I started training in the theatre in high school and continued in college. I also sang in choir throughout high school and in several bands. I had an opportunity to sing backup for a friends solo album in college. With more than 10 years as a Toastmaster member, I have established myself as an accomplished public speaker. I record my voice using Garage Band on my Apple computer using a Blue Snowball microphone. In addition to voice overs, I produce video content including 2D and 3D animation. I produce music appropriate for jingles and background themes. I am an accomplished writer and have written most of the scripts that I have recorded. I am the owner of Caret Marketing and Content Development.
