Highlights
I am an accredited member of the Society of Accredited Voice Over Artists (SaVoa) -- member #11027. I am very comfortable delivering: (1) warm, friendly, caring reads for scripts with sensitive topics; (2) fun, energetic, urgent, and/or comical reads for radio and TV promos/imaging; (3) authoritative, serious reads for hard-hitting subject matter; and (4) dark, mysterious, ominous, growly reads for movie trailer scripts. My main reads are accent-free; however, growing up in the south has given me all the inspiration I'd ever need to artculate a "hardened" southern man.

Additionally, I've delivered over 300 narrations for short-form marketing videos for various companies including YAMAHA (U.S. and Germany locations), REMAX, Prudential, The Piano Encyclopedia, Bradley Cable Inc, Extended Stay Network, Gearco, Travel Incorporated, NCR, The Recording Academy, and the Grammy-winning musical supergroup TLC.

Credentials
Education
LA-based vocal coach Nancy Wolfson (Braintracks Audio) is my instructor.
I am an accredited SaVoa member (Society of Accredited Voice Over Artists #11027). This means that I successfully passed the extremely rigid requirements for vocal articulation and acting, as well as the high standards of recording and engineering--meaning you can expect TOP QUALITY reads, and TOP QUALITY audio delivery from me.
Before entering voice acting, I served over 20 years in the music and entertainment business as the drummer on a number of Grammy-winning CDs and world tours for artists including TLC, Monica, Stevie Nicks, Michael McDonald, and countless others. During these two decades, I was exposed to many facets of audio/visual marketing on local, national, and intercontinental levels. This experience, I believe, has helped broaden my conception regarding advertising; and as a result--my vocal delivery. Of course, a constant watchful eye--or ear-- of the current trends in voice work also play a large role in my continuing education.
My training includes coaching sessions from an agent I have in Atlanta by the name of Sally Neal, and also extensive voice lessons from the legenday Jan Smith (vocal coach to R&B superstar USHER, Justin Beiber, and countless other stars.)

Service Description
For recording, I use a variety of digital audio workstations (DAWs). My main DAW is Digital Performer, but often employ Audition, Soundtrack Pro, and Sonar--depending on audio needs. My vocal booth is a total isolation booth outfitted with auralex acoustic foam on every surface guaranteeing a perfect, noise-free recording. My main vocal microphone is a large diaphragm, multi-pattern condenser mic made by RODE (NT2).
I am extremely knowledgeable in full scale audio and video production. I own and operate a full production audio/video company that incorporated in 2001. If your audio production needs extend beyond voice work, I'm your guy, as I am also well-versed in audio sweetening and many other forms of audio post production. Anything from special effects on a line of dialogue to full-scale post production, I can give it to you! My company created marketing material--including voice work--for R&B supergroup TLC, The Grammys, Charlie Wilson from The Gap Band, Timberland Footwear, Yamaha Band Instruments, IKON business solutions, and many, many others.
