Peter J. Marx

Fluent in French, and while it is not my native language, I lived and worked in France and am sometimes mistaken for a Frenchman by French nationals. 50s hipster (narration on one track of a jazz CD, reading from Kerouac accompanied by a pianist who won a Grammy in 2010), more of a serious, deeper-voiced narration style (jazz-gospel musical), French accent in English, French-Canadian accent in French, voicing the thoughts of a small dog in a video.

Narrations on jazz CD and in jazz-gospel musical (see above), one animation (two or three voices), TV commercials, video (expressing the thoughts of a small dog). Frankly I am just now beginning to pursue VO actively, so I haven't yet done that much. I have also done an industrial video (on camera). Studied VO with Leigh Gilbert in Los Angeles, who produced my commercial demo. Attended various other VO workshops. Some acting background - plays, and simulated live studio audience broadcasts from the golden age of radio. Stage manager for plays. Years ago produced and broadcast several editions of a weekly radio show. Former amateur musician, and have sung in a few stage productions, though in all candor I don't consider singing my strongest attribute. Four intensive TV commercial workshops for on-camera work, January 2011. Microphone: AT 2020 USB. Recording Software: Audacity. Indicated above I can record and upload audio files via FTP. Don't yet have the FTP application, but I understand it is easy to obtain and use. Presently send auditions in mp3 format via email. Great appreciation for music, primarily jazz and classical. Spend a fair amount of time in jazz clubs and occasionally recording sessions. Acquainted with many musicians and singers, a number of whom are friends.
