As a child I was fully content playing alone creating worlds, characters and stories of my own with my toys. Being the youngest and only boy I spent a lot of my time imitating characters l loved on TV and in life. Puberty robbed some of that range, but I maintained the desire to continue that joyous practice. What hasn't left and in fact became more pronounced is being able to key into sentiment as both a vocal talent and writer. I'm able to evoke internal emotions on command and put myself in the space needed to deliver. I find a peace and sense of connection in doing this. To be part of a beautiful story is the goal as both a writer and vocal talent (i.e comic animation, videogame, movie, etc). I have tools to do in home quick turn around on demand audio, but have access to studios or can travel when sensible to deliver. I've been at this since I was child, but really looking to make a mark and live a dream as a full-time profession as it just never occurred to me that it was a possibility. It wasn't until having children of my own and writing stories for them as well as voicing the different characters seeing their feedback that I believed even more in the pursuit.

- Experience, training, and equipment
  Trained with an experienced vocal actor/trainer Joanne Joella. We worked on vocal exercises, bad habits, as well as the basics of the business. I have done small character work, job training, demo direction and narration. I have a few microphones, but I mainly use a Marantz 2000U. I have the ability to do basic production and if needed I can add effects/music. I am also a writer, so amending talking points to fit or write a full copy for an ad, jingle, character is in my skillset given context to what the target goal is.
