Most of my voice work is in the realm of friendly announcer, or guy next door character. I also have done quite a few things where I play an announcer who is actually a character--perhaps interviewing someone in a scripted, humorous way. I have been told and have received work because my characters are believable and do not sound like they are being read. Conversational humor is one of my favorite things to perform. I have been in more spots than I can remember, but some of them have been for: McDonalds, Dunkin' Donuts, Parker Brothers, AutoNation, Connecticut Lottery, The Boston Herald, Fallon Health Care, Pedialyte, Marshalls, Jiffy Lube, Bank Boston (now defunct), Top Flite, The Portland Pirates, 600lb Gorilla Cookies, Arbella Insurnace, Tufts Health Care, CeltiCare, Papa Gino's and a bunch of other things.
