If all the world is a stage, let me play the fool.
I have enjoyed toying with character voices since childhood, entertaining middle school classmates with renditions of Howie Mandel's "Bobby" and then dropping into bass with a verse from "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." As my voice matured through high school and college, I began to refine my sound while still expanding my range of characters and tones.
From honing public speaking skills in Speech and Debate in high school, to work as a college DJ and radio newsman at the University of Southern California, I have been developing my voice and career ambitions for more than 20 years.
As an amateur and professional, my work has ranged from radio news to theatrical narration to public address announcing to corporate voiceovers. Now, as I expand my experience and resume, I look forward to developing my career in both commercial and animation voiceovers.
