Misc/Specials

Very versatile in voice range and style , from guy next door , to announcer , to character/impersonations . Regarding additional skills relating to voice over, the most important quality would be professionalism, and reliability. Something instilled into me at the age of 18. Shortly after my time in the Army, I began a five year run on the road working for recoring artists. I worked for quite a few acts, BTO, Foghat, The Outlaws, some heavy metal bands LA Guns. AC/DC on the first leg of their Blow Up Your Video tour. During my touring days I did it all, set up the stage, tuned guitars, drum tech, pyrotechnics and merchandise. Again a strict professional environment, "The show must go on". While developing my skills as a broadcaster over the past 15 years I worked in restaurants. I have been able to achieve chef status without culinary training, all on-the-job training. I have been in some very busy and very professional kitchens. I have a great ability to perform under pressure. Athletics has also been a big part of my life. Baseball, Football, Martial art's. Athletics and other professional situations have given me a great ability to focus. I am able to use this ability with my voice work. I am forever thriving to improve my life and my skills.
