I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)
Voice Actor
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
I did my first VO at the age of 16 after a man in the audience of our highschool concert heard me MC the event. The gentlemen asked if I could do two books on CD. Talk about starting off with a major session.
From there, I dabbled in VO from time to time while majoring in musical theatre. I did some teaser spots for a small local news station, I was the voice of Hartford Stage's Playreading series, narrated a documentary etc. During college, while doing "Much Ado About Nothing" at Hartford Stage, a cast member introduced me to a VO agent at Don Buchwald & Associates. I freelanced with them for a while but being a college student in CT and not having a studio accessible all the time, didn't really work with all the last min audition calls.
After graduating and finally moving to NYC to pursue theatre, I signed with Atlas Talent Agency for VO's and have been with them for almost two years. In addition to VO's, I sing bass for Disney's premier a cappella group Voices of Liberty & an international champion barbershop quartet. I'm also a proud member of Actors Equity and do a lot of theatre regionally & in NYC. I really enjoy being in voice overs and I'm always looking to get better & develop my craft to its potential

I’d like to invite you to join a group I’ve started called “Voices of Colors.” There members offer information and advise each other on navigating this business as people of color. Just go to "forum" (up top), then to "groups," then join "Voices of Colors." Looking forward to hearing of your experiences.
All the best and continued success.

I trust the Voiceover Universe experience has been good for you!
Also, I hope you'll check out and join a group that we recently started called MARKETING FOR FUN AND PROFIT. It's a group dedicated to discussing ways we can market ourselves - what works; what doesn't. With your experience, you would be a tremendous resource! The link is: www.voiceoveruniverse.com/group/marketingforfunandprofit
Thanks for your time! I trust our paths will cross soon!

Hey, I DO use the StoneBooth! And I love it. It's a little heavy and awkward at first - but once you maneuver with it a bit, it's easy as pie. I use a small luggage carrier to wheel it around in travel. The set-up is simple - all of the panels snap together tightly - and the booth environment is easy to work within. 2' deep and tall by 3' wide. Totally large enough for mobile studio equipment goods.
Take care!

Take care!
Welcome! I wish you well. I hope to visit NYC before it's too cold this season. Hopefully, I can catch your performance.
Enjoy your weekend!
