I really enjoy doing Walter Brennan (the Real McCoy), Ronald Regan, Mickey Mouse etc. I can create voice images for new characters as well. It's something I've loved since I was a kid. I can do English blue blood to cockney, Upper Crusted American, Red Neck, Gay and variations to fit the character.

I have owned and operated a recording studio for 31 years, and have done voice overs on many occasions. I'd say I'm still a novice , with tons of experience getting great vocal sounds with a mic collection , many of World Class status as well as editing and special efx. Most of my experience has been Producing and engineering music. Everything you can imagine...I've done. Played guitar professionally for 40 plus years, which included touring and recording I have a number of Billboard Songwriter's awards. I have attended the Conservatory of the Recording Arts in Tempe AZ. There I took Pro Tools classes. I have also taken other Pro Tools classes in Nashville TN Pro Tools 10 HD, mic pre amps that include API,Universal audio, Neve,Drawmer,Great River, SPL and others. Our mic closet contains Neumann U 87s, U 47 fet, BLUE, AKG Sennhiser,Shure along with an old RCA BK 5 Ribbon Mic, often refered to as the Bing Crosby mic due to it's warm sound. The studio is World Class with a dedicated vocal room and an amazing cue system with wonderful new headphones from Shure. I am experienced,positive, relaxed and confident in a studio setting. Although I have no formal training in voice overs I know I have the ear to adapt to any style voice needed.
