As an announcer, narrator or character I've done well over 1,000 voiceovers on TV, radio, feature films, industrial films and animated as well as live action shorts. I've done voices on projects at Walt Disney Productions, AARP, Warner Brothers, NBC, Fox and Comedy Central as well as many local and regional businesses. In front of the camera I've appeared as an actor on numerous TV commercials, including being the first commercial spokesperson for the Best Buy Company. My training has included being a founding and performing member of The Groundlings improvisational comedy group in Los Angeles, through which I was cast for my first voice over and on-camera work. I've also worked with voice-coach Susan Berkley. I have my own home studio and use an MXL 909 microphone. I have Sony Sound Forge 8.0 for recording and editing, and also use Sony Acid Pro 6.0 for mixing voice, sound effects and music. In addition to my voiceovers and on-camera acting experience, I've also written, directed and produced TV commercials that have aired in local and regional markets, as well as comedy video shorts that have aired nationaly on NBC, Fox and Comedy Central.
