Pied Piper series, puppeteer and character vocalist with the nationally renowned Nashville Symphony Orchestra
Radio & TV commercial and promotional spot writer & producer.
My first real experimentation
with character voice artistry began in fifth grade,
when I "toured" the classroom Christmas party circuit
with my Foster Brooks imitation.
After earning a B.S. in Mass Communications,
I worked afternoon drive at an AM station.
It was here, as the only commercial producer,
that I developed a full roster of vocal characterizations.
Subsequent work at a video production company
specializing in puppetry gave me further opportunities
to stretch my vocal chords.
I've been privileged to do character voice work for three
Grammy-winning children's producers,
as well as character and VO for several
regional and national Emmy and Addy producers.
