Country, Johnny Cash, spanish/hispanic, Castillian spanish, 'the Most Interesting Man in the World,' your father, Barry White, Ernie Harwell - voice of the Detroit Tigers, gospel deep bass, the election campaign male voice that you can't help but believe, baseball announcer.

I retired a few years ago and, with additional time on my hands, decided it was time to apply myself in the world of voice-over acting. I've done voice-over narrations for a local foundation's videos, announced local baseball games, and done quite a bit of public speaking as president of my company and president of our local educational foundation. I've also been known to do a pretty mean Johnny Cash impersonation when inspired by guitar talent at local gatherings:-) Thus - formal voice-over experience is admittedly limited. However, you'll find me to be poised, professional, and open to doing your project so that, indeed, I can expand my resume. Have a listen, and if you like what you hear, give me a try. MBA - University of Chicago. BA - BGSU - Business and Spanish. Master of Ceremonies - Multiple events, from dedications to galas. Corporate Presentations - Sales and Management. Recording/software equipment: - Adobe Audition - Avid MBox Mini audio interface - sE X1 microphone - File output in any requested format Working with and coaching people is what I did for 40 years. Whether it be within the work environment or as the head of a local foundation - my activities come down to understanding and working with people. I see voice-over as not just throwing my voice into a script; but rather, feeling the script, understanding the audience, and making the message personal, so that it resonates with those who listen. My studies abroad (I spent a year studying at the University of Madrid) and establishment of fluency in a second language (Spanish) were critical in my development. When you learn another language, you gain not only a better understanding of your own language; but also, great intuition regarding your audience. You learn to be more cognitive of others around you and understand whether your message is getting through. When I speak publicly or read a script, I am there - with my audience - communicating with them, not at them. I will bring this same passion and intuition to your voice-over project.
