Character treatments? I got some characters for you. Southern, British, Yiddish, Indian, Monty Python voices, Rednecks, Upper-class Snobs, I've got a whole casting agency full of characters in my head, and they love to come out and play.

I've done a lot of voiceover work in the last 20 years or so for a variety of customers, in a wide range of production styles and for a wide range of media. I can perform in your studio of choice or can use my well equipped home studio where I can produce straight voice tracks or complete audio productions. While I've done a good deal of commercial work, the bulk of my work is in narration for documentaries, corporate communication and training. My background is in acting and public speaking - I've never been a "radio personality" and it shows in my work. While I currently do not hold a security clearance, I have held a secret clearance in the past and provided VO work for classified projects. I was born and raised in the Deep South - Jacksonville, Florida, to be exact. A bit too young for the Baby Boom and too old for Generation X, I was raised on a steady diet of Cold War paranoia, 70's top 40 radio, indie films and fried chicken. I started singing in my early teens in church choir and started acting in high school. I studied theatre in college and performed in dozens of productions both in school and in professional repertory companies. My first voiceover work was right out of high school when I was a voice artist for an audioanimatronic installation (I was one of three pirates and a parrot - yarr!). Over the years, I've worn a lot of hats - actor, lighting designer, audio engineer, theatrical laser operator, grip, gaffer, shooter, editor, director, producer, classroom instructor, human performance improvement analyst, software designer, regulatory expert and company executive, but I've always kept my voice artist hat on underneath. Ok, from the voice to the CD, here's my gear: Microphones: - Neumann TLM 49 - AKG C 3000 - Electrovoice RE-20 - Sennheiser MD421 - Beyer DT190 (for remote and IVR projects) Preamps: - Avalon M5 Preamp - PreSonus Eureka preamp/eq/compressor Interfaces: - Presonus Firestudio Mobile - Presonus Firestudio - Presonus 12.0.2 mixer/interface Software: - Adobe Audition - Apple Logic Pro Hardware: - Apple iMac - Apple MacBook Pro This collection of goodies gives me the capability to record your project in my studio or to bring the studio to you. My remote production capability allows me to record your VO virtually anywhere should the need arise to produce your VO onsite for security or confidentiality reasons. Having spent years on the other side of the microphone as well, I am well versed in all facets of media production, from initial creative concept to duplication and distribution, in all roles - writer, field production, directing, editing, engineering and management. I am also a specialist in instructional analysis and training process reengineering, especially for highly regulated industries.
