That's all the voices that came up off the top of my head, but I assure you I can be made to make many more. Look me up if you want an established voice, or even if you are looking for a fresh new voice for your cartoon concept. I'm the guy you want.

I was a voice in the video game classic "Red Dead Redemption," as have been hired to perform voice over as a narrator and various voices for several short films and animation projects. Aside from paid work, though, i have been doing voice over work all my life. Even as a kid i was mimicking celebrities i saw on tv, recording them, and playing them for my parents on silly tapes. I have always had a great ability to repeat what i saw on tv and movies that struck me, and i would use it whenever i could. this would often be in the form of repeating what i saw verbatim to my friends on the playground for their and my enjoyment. I knew i was good because they always laughed their butts off. Other work I've done is voices for all my video projects(which included announcer, girl voice, man voice, etc. I silenced my actors, and recorded their voices for them!.) I am also assisting my friend, an animator, on a cartoon he is working on, and will soon be assisting him to voice a character he has created for a commercial client. Voices come easy to me, and I can help you in anything you need. Look me up! I took a year of film classes at 2 community colleges, 2 graduate-level voice over class, 1 stand up comedy class, 7 years musical theater, 5 years stand up comedy experience, improv experience with the LA Connection Comedy Theater(Skovprov Players; playing the main room of the Comedy Store this May!) I also have a B.A. in Creative Writing, and watched a crap load of television when I grew up. I also continue to watch a lot of television to this day. I have a microphone on my Macbook Pro Computer, Yeti and Rode NTG3 microphones, and I have the garage band program. That's it! I create the voices, and you do the engineering. Fair enough? I think it will be very worth your while. I have experience as a stand up comedian, an actor, a radio announcer, and an improv actor, so I have good mike control and ability to improvise or stay on script. That's about all I can think of really. My skills are mostly inherent, and not the result of formal training.
