I am an experienced actor in both theatre and film, and I have also performed as a stand up comedian and improv actor performing at comedy clubs and at industrial events. My voice has been used as part of industrial film projects. My primary voice acting coach is Nancy Wolfson. I have trained under Rich Goteri(Actors Studio member) for the past 20 years. Training includes Method and Improv technique. I am a graduate of the conservatory and writing programs at the Second City Detroit and received some acting training at Jeff Daniel's Purple Rose Theatre. Additional voice over training includes Tom Force in Detroit, Jim Alburger and Penny Abshire of the VoiceActing Academy and Pat Fraley. Additionally, I work as a health insurance salesman which lends itself to all types of interesting moments. I have my bachelor's degree in business and currently working on post graduate studies. I currently use a Sennheiser 416 mic with an Focusrite 2i2 interface. I use Audacity software to create recorded files. I can edit my recordings for a polished professional sound. I can connect via Source Connect or Skype. I am active everyday in health care sales. This industry has gone through several disruptions in the past several years which requires that I that I stay current with trends and be able to address the varying needs of my customers everyday. Not all of us fit into the same mold. In this environment you meet people who are extremely concerned, frightened, confused. Because I have strong interpersonal skills, I relate well to people of all walks of life. In the social media world of today I see an erosion of these abilities and I think these skills remain an important part of Voice Over. How else will the voice actor be able to portray the character required of the read for his customer if he can't relate to and understand people generally. I am phyisically fit and take care of myself both in diet and exercise. I work everyday on acting and voice work so that I am prepared should someone need my services. My outside interests include boating, golf, and lots of family time.
