TYPICAL VOICE: Not only do I perform the usual believable pleasant masculine adult American male strait - dry voice read that most male voice actors normally do, I also perform characters most of them are hilariously funny literally dozens of them !
5/21/18 I just joined Bodalgo, my 'Character' voice demo's are coming soon!
THE DIFFERENCE: What sets me way apart from the nice sounding professional voice crowd here is that I am so imaginative I have over 2 dozen well-developed voice characters to choose from. All of them are completely different from each other, not just a minor twist one on voice template. My characters are all trying to escape thru my mouth vying for Your attention to add something special to Your more creative voice scripting needs.
Unlike most voice actors I don't have a problem bringing enthusiasm and emotions to a script, I don't need coffee or a director with a whip to perform lol. I am the reverse, in fact, I have to 'tone it down' lol.
AUDITION: It does not cost anything to send me Your script, ( obviously time is money ) I will quickly send You my audition takes ( plural ). Please be very descriptive with Your script requirements, such as: This script is two friendly neighbors talking over the fence, or this script has a serious professional tone about life & death or ______? use descriptive words such as : happy, upbeat, fun, or serious, smooth, relaxed, professional, or goofy, charming, sweet, conversational, or authoritative, bold.
Acting has 4 basic moods: Happy, Sad, Angry, Scared with many subtle variations on those 4 basic mood-themes.
Be as descriptive as possible so we don't waste each others time and You get exactly the audio product You are contracting for.
All of my character voices speak and pronounce well, I can easily combine more than one into a single commercial whereby they play off each other.
IMPROV- ADLIB: Some of You may want a 2nd read - take - audition of Your script as a nice choice in contrast. If Your script - word count is very long, I can take Your boring technical - legal audio documentation and ad a little bit of humor to keep Your listeners interested and You happily be reading congratulatory e-mails about Your great audio presentation.
My Motto: I am here to give You the client more than You expect. I will return a broadcast quality creative & fully licensed for You Mp3 or WAV file product that You and I can be proud to share to the world as a focal point to represent Your company and/or product.
EQUIPMENT: Microphone = Harlon Hogan VO-1 studio condenser mic made specifically for voiceover. DAW = Sony Soundforge Pro. Studio = Meets Amazon - ACX audiobook standards of below -60 noise floor ( it's 'quiet') .

Esperienza
CHOPS: I have many years of standup improv comedy acting, and as a touring professional drummer-singer so I am very comfortable with a 'live' audience.
Tho I am a new voice talent, I chose Bodalgo as an intermediary to perform and work with clients because Armin the owner has such high standards as do I for myself.
If You read Armin's blog, He is very plain spoken and has zero time for amateurs who don't do their homework, I appreciate that.
