Stephen Erickson

I have a gift for imitation as well as an ability to create. Intuition and creativity serve me well.

I'll never forget my first experience with a voice over professional. He shared with me that my voice reminded him of Scott Brick, a popular professional voice over trainer. I was pleasantly surprised. To say that my voice has been an integral part of my life sounds like the beginning of a bad knock/knock joke, but it would be true. I have always enjoyed public speaking, as a minister, a teacher, a coach and as someone who enjoys reading to children. As a child I enjoyed practicing imitating various actors voices as well as making faces in the mirror. Mostly I enjoy making a difference in this world. Being able to contribute to humanity using the gift of my voice is central to my purpose here on the planet. Bachelors Degree with a large focus on Communications from the University of Washington- 1983 Master of Divinity Degree from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1987 that included a class with one of the finest Speech Communication professors in the country from Princeton University, Bill Beemers. Three Week Voice Over Class with Nathan Heel through Tiffany Talent Agency in Seattle Washington. Several years of bi-weekly voice over workshops. I have a home studio using Audacity and a Headset microphone in a sound absorbent room. I love helping people, inspiring them to realize their value and gifts for helping others. I am a team player who enjoys the creative process and is willing to ensure that the job is done with excellence. In addition to my compassion, I bring a wide variety of professional experiences with diverse groups of people. I have personally experienced much of life, the good the bad and the exceptional, which allows me to relate well to most people I meet. My recent Personal Development and Leadership Work with Klemmer and Associates over the past year plus, has also increased the size of my tool box.
