I have been doing professional theatre for over a year now. Arena Players, in Farmingdale, Long Island, has been using my talent since 2005.
Additionally, the most recent professional audio recording I have done was in Z-Film's studio in Queens, Kew Gardens. I have done work for their up-and-coming pilot, Villains, Inc. (http:villainsinc.tv/index.html)
I have worked with theatre groups for a couple of years now, and they have taught me everything I know. I have taken some classes and seminars, along with currently looking at some offers to work on the radio, as well.
I've learned a long time ago what the fundamental value of theatre is; trust is everything. Being able to work efficiently with other people is a must to me. Having trust with those you work with, whether it is your director, cast, or crew, is vital. I always listen to the director, and try to bring good ideas to the cast as well.
