I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)
Voice Actor, Studio Engineer, Creative Director, Voiceover Coach
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
I'm a big believer in the power and influence of the human voice, I've been working in the professional voice over industry for over 20 years, and with my sure-footed, powerful voice over work, I've helped countless clients achieve their project goals, and bring a sense of control and depth to their projects.
A client once said "Jeff could tame a wild animal with his strong, heart centered voice."
I'm proud to be Professional Member of World Voices International. I began my career at Q106 radio in Albuquerque/Santa Fe and moved to southern California in 1987. My experience includes on-camera, live event emcee, and lots of time behind the microphone. I've aligned with clients that include Sony, ESPN, Dell, BMW, Jenny Craig, and Toyota and hosted my own radio show for years interviewing the likes of Tina Turner, Olivia Newton-John, Ted Danson, Woody Harrelson, Rue McClanahan, Kristie Alley, and many more.
Among other achievements, I'm the President & Founder of Children’s Holiday Magic Project, a successful non-profit that began as a class project and benefits children who spend their holidays in the hospital. With a passion for music, story telling and children, the project is my way to give back to the community each year. Together with a team of volunteers, we distribute over 10,000 custom made CD downloads around the world containing songs and stories that bring smiles to the children’s faces.
When I'm not in the studio, I love to go sailing on the San Diego Bay, and hang out with my pup Oscar de la Puggle!

Hi Jeff,
I apologize for my horribly late reply, but yes it was Steve Stucker who I was supposed to interview with at Q-106. You are absolutely right he is now the weather man on channel 4's morning newscast. As a matter of fact he just got back from a trip to Israel.

Hi Jeff,
Great to hear from you. I have been in Albuquerque basically all of my life except for 7 years when we lived in Texas from 1977 to 1983. Ironically I had interviewed to work at Q106 in 1986, but instead went to work at another station. Anyway, it was great to make a connection. If you ever need anything from me just let me know.

Hey Jeff,
