I have a wide range of voices from low movie trailer style announcers to higher cartoon style. In the past I've been used as a substitute for Morgan Freeman, Patrick Stewart, Sam Elliot and Kelsey Grammer for ads and industrials. I have a list of over 120 voices I've performed at some point in my career either in commercials for radio and television or in my 25 years of being a morning show co-host and comedy producer. Most of my frequently requested celebrity voices are said to be "spot on" but my straight voice work is also widely used. You won't be disappointed!

Experience, training, and equipment
I co-hosted a very popular morning show in Boston from 1993-late 2012. Previous to Boston Radio I was morning radio talent in South Carolina and North Carolina as well as a head copywriter and producer. I produced and performed all the comedy both live and pre-recorded at all the stations. I also voiced commercials regularly at each station. Outside of that I have recorded commercials for several ad agencies and other radio stations in different markets. I currently voice station imaging for a station in Detroit, as well as regular contracts for ads in the Atlanta Metro area and upstate New York. Locally in New England my voice is heard on commercials on several different stations as well as, imaging for an afternoon show on the New England Talk network. In the past I have also recorded work for television commercials, narration for industrial videos, movie trailers, and cartoons. Previous clients include: Subaru, General Electric, Apple, Blockbuster, Comedy Central, Live Nation, Samuel Adams, TNT, and HBO.
I've also had two popular CD's released in New England of my comedy material which are sold out but available by request.
Although I was already working in radio at the time, I have a degree in Radio and Television from Tri-County Technical School in Pendleton S.C. At this time I also studied copywriting and journalism as a major.
I have full production capabilities, all MAC based including ProTools, Audacity, MixPad, and Soundplant. Studio quality microphone. No ISDN available in house but studio near me is readily available if needed.
Well know for rapid turnaround comedy production including fake commercials and song parodies for morning radio.
Quick writer and improvisational skills. Currently performing stand-up and live singing impressions with event comedy group.
Proficient in audio editing with ProTools, Audacity and MixPad.
Fan following on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets to help get the word out on any projects I am involved with in the future.
