Additional Skills

As an actor, many of my skills from stage, TV, and Film transfer into the voiceover medium. My ability to impart emotion and feeling with my instrument is my largest asset. However my vast experience in the booth and out is a close second. Having done ADR, looping, character voices, trailers, promos, commercials, narration, on hold messages, voicemail, greetings, interactive media, video games, motion capture and announcing. I am easy to work with, and I love being in the booth recording. I am quick to give clients what they need, and love stay in the booth afterward to see if we can have some fun with the copy and maybe discover something new and unexpected.
