I am new to this. I realized my ability once I had children. While reading stories I take on the voice of the individual characters and act out the books for my boys. I make up the voices as I see the artwork of the characters. As of now (August 2010) my only audience has been my wife, two boys, and sometimes other children. I have no training, but know that my voice is unique and my ability is layered. I think I could do very well as a voice over artist with the right opportunities.
BFA Film and Television from Chapman University (2000) with an emphasis in New Media.
I have skill in audio and video editing file formats.
I have taken course on audio design and audio editing. These were part of my BFA training. I have used Sound Forge, GarageBand, Adobe Soundbooth, and some exposure to ProTools. I have GarageBand and Adobe Soundbooth on my personal computers.
Besides my BFA in Film and Television I have a BSN in Nursing. I am medically skilled in pronouncing medical terms and knowledgable in the professional use of devices in the medical field as well.This may come in handy for presentations or instructional videos for medical industry.
