I left college after my sophomore year in 1981(was a Theatre & Speech major at what is now known as DeSales University)due to being hired at age 20 to do news/weather reporting in Allentown PA on WAEB 79AM; I also did funny comedic voices with one of my superiors for traffic drive-time banter with the on-air DJ. I then went on to be a rock DJ for WZZO(Z-95), then in Bethlehem PA at 21 years old, also doing commercials for the station ranging from rock clubs to products or PSA's. Years later I did some industrial films on camera as a narrator for various technical products such as "Euthenex"--demonstrating how to euthenize rodents for research; also various historical narratives for films shown on PBS or for historical organizations for their visitors(as voiceovers). Was Theatre & Speech major at Allentown College of St.Francis De Sales, now known as DeSales University in Center Valley PA from 177981; left the college due to being hired in professional radio as news/weather announce, moving on to being a DJ the year later at another station(as outlined above). I studied Voiceovers with Dan Dusckworth in NYC in the mid to late 1990's, Dan produced my first voiceover demo tape of 6 varying commericials. I also did soap opera training with Beth Wicke and Suzanne Ringrose, who both cast soaps for ABC in the late '90's. I have a vast amount of experience doing live theatre--musicals and plays, and a comedy sketch show on TV for 13 years called "THE STURDY BEGGARS COMEDY SHOW" that aired on Manhattan Cable from 1987 to 2000. I played various characters including Peter Jennings, Rod Serling, John Tesh. I'm also a pro musician/singer and composer, playing piano/guitar from 1985 to the present in PA/NYC/NJ in bars/restaurants/country clubs and for private events; with an original musical "GHOSTS ON BROADWAY" produced at the John Houseman Theatre in NYC 15 years ago May of 1995. I do not personally have a studio, but have a few friends 10 to 20 minutes from me who have pro studios and can record me and send you the results in various formats compatible with what you need for a project; as a musician/singer/composer I can also write and vocally perform jingles suitable to a theme a client is seeking and record them at these studios. I have over 25 years sales experience which I feel aids in my ability to "sell" a product with my voice; as a musician/singer/composer I also bring those abilites to the fore in case projects need those talents as well.
