I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)

Voice Actor, Copy Writer, Creative Director, Vocal Coach

HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE

I have Worked in the Voice Over Industry beginning in my early high school years doing voice and video spots for local community theater production advertising, then moved into radio disc jockey and news reporting. I eventually worked into writing copy and producing spec spots. I took a bit of a hiatus from the industry, but have continued to coach kids in public speaking and drama while exploring online avenues to practice my skills. I specialize in narration type projects, transferring books to audio format, character voices, and cartoon character imitations.I am also a musical vocalist, with a range from baritone to high tenor.

RECENTLY BOOKED PROJECTS

My most recent work was as a voice extra for an upcoming video game entitled Urban Empires. I am currently designing a home studio set up and am in the beginning stages of working my back into the industry full time.

LANGUAGES

American, and if I feel particularly proper, English.

VOICE DESCRIPTION

My voice is extremely flexible, able to go from high pitched cartoony voices (I can do upwards of 40 famous cartoon character impersonations from Buggs Bunny to Inspector Gadget and beyond), to a deeper more traditional "radio voice," as well as various stages in-between. My normal speaking voice is in the mid range for a male, and my singing voice is high tenor.

DIALECTS, Character voices and vocal impressions

Variations on dialects from the British Isles, and a wide range of American ethnic and regional dialects and accents, as well as European and Asian accented English.

VOICES I AM ABLE TO PERFORM

Senior Male, Middle Age Male, Young Adult Male, Teenage Boy, Child Male

AUDIO DELIVERY METHOD

MP3

EQUIPMENT

None. Everything has been gutted and I am starting over. NEED SUGGESTIONS ON A BASIC SET UP FOR HOME STUDIO ON A PC!
