Dark and Menacing , Cheesy Hero, Urban/ Swag, Sports Announcer

I have been doing voiceover work for the past 3 years (will be 4 in 2018). My teacher was a man named Roger Becker who has performed throughout the VO industry. My goal is to solve problems whenever I read copy, I look to deliver tracks that will complete your feature, documentary, commercial or spot. I have worked on multiple projects at Bleacher Report. Acquired by Turner in 2012, Bleacher Report has become the social voice of sports, engaging with the millennial audience to excite and share the moments on and off the court. I have worked on Branded Content pieces where my voice has been featured in brand partnerships with, Gatorade, Head and Shoulders, Playstation, Nike and Ciroc. In addition to branded content, I have been casted in animated series at Bleacher Report. I have reprised roles and speak for multiple characters on Gridiron Heights, set to finish it's second season towards the end of 2017 NFL season. Small Ball was a partnership between Bleacher Report and Nike. I was a extra voice working on this project with voice actor's Michael Che (SNL Weekly Update), JB Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Charlamagne tha God (Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club), among others. I have held lead roles such as Carmelo Anthony in a Charlie Brown inspired Carmelo NYK (A Carmelo Anthony Christmas) My voice has broadcasted on TV during 'Inside the NBA' on TNT and my most recent client has been Notre Dame University Athletics. I have tracked copy for jerseys worn by players honoring our veterans of World War 1 (Shamrock Series) and during the early signing period I booked a major project; narrating dynamic highlight packages of 24 recruits who would join the Fighting Irish Football roster. These works can be found on Notre Dame Football's Instagram page (@ndfootball) totaling about 125K views collectively. Please take a look at my vimeo links I have sources to my work where you can hear my voice and the roles I have portrayed throughout my career. I have a Bachelor of Science in Television Radio from Ithaca College, Ithaca NY. During my time at IC I participated on a digital radio offering called VIC Radio (2010- 2011). I read for student projects as well, tracking documentaries. Working under Roger Becker, he gave me the tools I needed to have strong audition techniques and reading copy using some industry knowledge on how to deliver the words correctly. I have recorded sound at home, My equipment is a Rode NTUSB that I capture audio through adobe audition. I also travel to recording locations in the NYC area.
