I am very new to this industry, so I do not have a tremendous amount of experience.
While not a trained voice actor, I was heavily involved in performing arts throughout my school career. Focusing on Vocal Music, Drama, and Dance.
I used many of these skills with my work at Walt Disney World Florida- MGM Studios as a Character performer for the "Phantasmic" live action show. I have spent almost a decade working in a call centre enviornment, and more often than not have such a polished voice quality and clarity that I am often mistaken for the IVR (Automated attendant)when answering a call. I am currently a full time photographer and support graphic design and Social Media Management.
I am the official photographer for Evanov Radio Group,and have been published several times in the Toronto Sun, as well as 3 Magazine issues in 2012 (Elite Magazine UK, and Swagger Magazine Toronto)
I am a resident Contributor of SNAP (KW Edition)
I have access to several full service recording studios both locally and within the GTA. In Toronto, my first choice would be Phase One Studios, a powerhouse in the Recording Services Industry since 1974
Featuring an 80 input Vintage Neve console & 1500 sq ft live floor.
