Highlights
Sure, I can do voice-overs - in whatever style you need: hard sell or soft sell, guy-next-door or all-business, epic movie trailer or warm & fuzzy grandpa, American as apple pie or British as tea & crumpets.
But where I really excel is voice acting. Give me any role you can imagine, and I will disappear into it completely. I will become that character. I have been blessed with a remarkably versatile voice, and can convincingly portray ages from adolescent to octogenarian, accents from regional American to international, and emotions from despair to elation to timidity to rage, and everything in-between.
My specialty is video game characters, but I'll take on any medium with equal enthusiasm. The more challenging, the better! And, when given room to improvise, I've been known to crank out some pretty darned impressive stuff. You want comedy? I can ad-lib hilarious material all day long. I'm also a writer, so I can help you polish up your script, usually free of charge.

Credentials
Education
My talent is all-natural, and is something I've been developing over a lifetime. As a kid with a huge imagination, I would give unique voices to each of my various action figures; during my teenage years, I would do impersonations for the entertainment of my friends and family; as a young adult, I was urged by my peers to use my voice in a occupational capacity. I'm a graphic artist by trade, but I've been doing VO work throughout my adult life, simply because I enjoy it.

Service Description
Since I don't rely solely on voice work to earn a living, I can take the extra time and care to deliver exactly the kind of performance my clients want/need. Unlike many voice talents who must rely on voice work alone to earn a living, my focus is always on quality, never on quantity.
Testimonials
Crossmark
“As a copywriter, I’ve cast my fair share of voice talent for clients like NOKIA, FedEx, Kinko’s and AT&T. Mark is one of the best. He’s a natural. He has a dynamic range and can pick up tone, pace and add inflection at exactly the right moment. He just gets it. He can transform instructional content into fresh, entertaining and fun material. Heck, he could read the dictionary and you’d want to know how it would end. Mark is always on time and always on target.”
