Beschreibung

Mike is a 38 year veteran of live news broadcast with a distinguished career as a reporter, chief correspondent and currently a primary network O&O anchor in the 5th largest US market.

Mike's deep authoritative voice is steeped in culture and experience. His warm, resonate and distinctive baritone is friendly, conversational and convincing, but can be deep velvet and ominous. Mike's dynamic range of delivery is persuasive, skilled and confident. He can shake a room or stadium with the "Voice of God," or slip into a low rumble for a romantic mood and tumble into a guffaw in a fit of comedy.

Mike is seasoned with deep professional knowledge of vocal and video persuasion from years of live broadcasts around the world. His crisp, confident and authoritative presentation brings impact, meaning and class to narrations for documentaries, audio books, corporate presentations, image campaigns, commercials, promos and movie trailers, business/technology/educational videos. His command of the language gives him the unique ability to navigate live entertainment, business, academic and technical presentations with convincing ease.

Mike engages his ability to command live stadium sized audiences to organize, motivate and execute large philanthropy events. He uses his skills with grace and wit to manage both live and live-to-record events. Mike's extensive live broadcast career has tempered him to be very directable, flexible and cooperative, while also being collaborative.

Whether the voice needs to be persuasive, friendly, convincing, authoritative, commanding with wit and whimsy; whether you need dad, a friendly neighbor or the Voice of God; and when you need flexibility, credibility and absolute satisfaction on a tight deadline, Mike is your man.

Ausbildung

I have been privileged to learn my craft one-on-one from broadcast legends Curt Brown, Charlie Van Dyke, Jerry Lewis (MDA), Casey Kasem, Travis Linn (CBS), and many others.

My professional coaches have included Barry Nash, Laura Hernandez, Joni Brander and a number of coaches from AR&D, Frank Magid and M&M.

But the one person who influenced my command of the language and gifted voice was my English professor father. He published a poetry magazine, spoke 6 languages, recorded the Canterbury Tales in middle English and convinced me, "words on paper need a human voice, steeped in emotion and understanding, to bring them to life."
