One reason I love being a voice actor is that you come in contact with so many interesting people and subjects. You get to learn so much about stuff you might not otherwise. Synack is a world leader in cybersecurity. In order to be the best at what they do they send their professional hackers that look for vulnerabilities in their software to hacking competitions around the world. They want only the best on their team. I didn’t even know that was a thing!

The producer on this project for Battleface Travel Insurance wanted a movie trailer delivery with a little self-awareness and a touch of tongue-in-cheekiness. Far be it from me to miss out on a chance to be movie trailer guy.
THIS.. was a blast. I’ve voiced a few things for the Bison Boys. I’m thankful for all my clients, but occasionally you really connect with the attitude, the performance, the ethos. Check it out.
This horrifying dystopian scene is Werner Herzog’s retelling of his experience at Trader Joe’s market which was actually written by Paul F. Tomkins in a satirical review intended to reflect Herzog’s less-than-cheery persona. Click here for an article on Tomkins and the review and Herzog’s reaction upon finding out about it. It’s not for the faint of heart or those with a fear of crowds, confined spaces or humanity in general. Werner wrote the review. I did the voice, sound design and ambient music. The performance is not an impression of Herzog, but was inspired by the fake review.
Voiceover is one of my first “industry” loves. Working with clients to bring their vision to life. Interpreting, acting, visualizing, creating. Giving voice to something that wasn’t previously there. It’s still exciting and I still get a charge from it. Let’s work together to give your vision a voice.

Here’s a recent project I voiced for Rocs Local Market. I got to, well, “reference” a couple of my original announcer heroes, legends both. This delivery channels elements of NFL Films announcer John Facenda, and the man who took over for him after his passing, longtime voice of the Philadelphia Phillies (my favorite baseball team growing up) Harry Kalas. This is by no means an impression of either man, but a melding in the style of each. Thanks to The Audio Suite for hiring me.
Virginia Tech has become one of my all-time favorite voiceover clients. They are great to work with, provide good copy and direction, and produce great work. Essentially, they do all the work for me. All I have to do is stick a mic in my face and try not to screw it up. Here’s a new video they produced with my voiceover that will run online, on their social media and during in-game.
Thanks to the team at Success Training Co. for hiring me to provide voiceover for one of their promotional videos! Check it out.
As in, speaking FOR dragons, not AS dragons. This is a recent video project with some voiceover I provided. It accompanied a Kickstarter campaign for a new fantasy game series. If you dig that stuff, go check them out and maybe support the project. It blew up as soon as the campaign went live and reached its goal in a day!
