Daniel is a Tennessee native turned LA transplant. He thought about New York a little, but he couldn’t stand the way his beard froze in the Chicago winter, so he decided to stay away from cold weather. He started out his education in music, before realizing that acting was his true calling—so he jumped around and 4 universities later he emerged from the Midwest with an M.F.A. in Acting from Indiana University, where he also taught Acting and Voice & Speech. Along the way, he studied improv at The Second City in Chicago, voicework with Patsy Rodenburg, dialects with Paul Meier, and voiceover at Voicetrax—with incredible talents such as Samantha Paris, Peter Coyote, Dave Fennoy, and many more. After years on-stage, and a teensy delve into on-camera, he’s decided that voiceover is the world for him—at least for the moment.
Daniel is well versed in performing conversational commercial work, narration, audiobooks, and more--but his specialty is (Read, books the most work in) character work for video games and animation.
