I've been a "voice actor" nearly all of my life - on stage from the age of 5. I sing as well. I have been in broadcasting for over 20 years. I've done voices/characters for 3 video games, and was the voice of a singing Christmas Tree that was sold at Dollar General Store. Most of my air work in radio has been done in Ohio, Kentucky, Grand Cayman, B.W.I., Tennessee, New Jersey, Staten Island NY, and Pennsylvania.
BA Theater Ohio University
Full Time Radio Personality from 1993-2009
in that time I voiced and produced hundreds of commercials (if not thousands)
Numerous plays and musicals over 25 + years
Rode NT1-A Mic
MBox Mini
Protools LE
Sony MDR-V6 headphones for Digital audio
Mackie HR624 Studio Monitors
Being in Radio for many years and being a student of the Theater has allowed me to take a step back and really listen to what is going into the commercial - if it is a straight informational read - that's great - they are very effective. I strive to make every word in the copy mean something to the person hearing it.
As far as characters go, I can make the character you are hearing in your head come alive and feel "real." Not just a voice of someone you have hired to "pretend" to be a concerned mom - or a woman in a doctor's waiting room...or a new college graduate - excited about what the future holds...or not...
Whatever it is you are looking for - give my stuff a listen, and let's chat. Feel free to contact me any time.
