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.

For the past 30 years, I've either been asked if I'm in radio or told that I need to be in radio. And for 30 years, I've said 'perhaps some day I'll do that.' Some day is here. In the meantime, I've done voice-over narrations for a local foundation's videos, announced 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. I'll also gladly do live events, as public speaking has been a part of my career, which I enjoy. Have a listen, and if you like what you hear, give me a try. MBA - University of Chicago. BA - Business and Spanish. Master of Ceremonies - Multiple events, from dedications to galas. Corporate Presentations - Sales and Management. I utilize Video Cafe Productions for all of my studio and voice work. Equipment includes: - Adobe Audition CS 5.5 - M-Audio Firewire Solo audio interface - Audio-Technica AT875R microphone File output in any requested format Working with and coaching people is what I do. 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) have been 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.
