As a member of Hit & Run Theatre, I was routinely assigned off-stage voice-over parts, ranging from game show announcer ("Johnny, tell them what they won") to cloak and dagger scene by scene updates ("Meanwhile, deep in the bowels of the nuclear reactor..."). Other projects would pop up, such as narrating a CD for the 1996 Olympics and local radio commmercial work. I took classes at Voicetrax in Sausalito for two years or so, but focused on animation instead of what I would consider my real calling in this area, narration. My theatrical experience spans 30 years and includes acting, singing, dancing and production work, as well. A couple of stints as a DJ, in college and at The Coast, KOZT, in northern CA. BA Theatre Arts New England 2+ years of voice-over/acting training at Voicetrax with Samantha Paris I have no studio equipment at this writing (3/29/2009) My "day job" life has consisted of customer service/hospitality work. In this work, I have dealt face to face or on the phone with people who are trying to resolve their issues. This has offered me the opportunity to study people up close and personal, providing me with endless material for research. People from all over the world have vented on me and in doing so have revelaed their true nature. This information has proved absolutely invaluable to me in terms of development of characters and understanding the human condition. Not to mention the wide variety of vocal styles and accents I have encountered. I have a good ear and can pick up vocal nuances quite well...:)
