I’ve come a long way since I started my life in Portland, Oregon. I could never have expected that the stories and songs I scribbled down at just a few years old would spawn into a lifelong love of creativity and imagination.
While I live to dream, my life has been no daydream. I’ve always used every precious moment learning as much as I can. It started with piano lessons at 8 and hasn’t stopped across the last 70 years.
And here is where our life lines meet, at the moment where you need someone to give a voice to your dreams, and I am hungry to make dreams a reality. In the last few years, I’ve trained with seasoned directors and talented voice artists, absorbing their decades of experience.
From perfecting my corporate reads with industry titan Dustin Ebaugh, honing my audiobook character acting with animated voice actor Brent Mukai, all the way to studying under the world renowned voiceover Melissa Moats (the national voice of Best Western Hotels and founder of The Voice Actors Studio in Las Vegas) – I have always invested in my skills to learn from the industry’s greatest talent, so I can tell your stories with the true authenticity and emotion that they deserve.
It all started with my desire to narrate audiobooks, including my own, to awaken characters off the page and deeply connect with my listeners.
I now help businesses in Las Vegas and around the world, connect with their customers using that same warmth. Whether I’m explaining their services, providing an inviting welcome on their phone or teaching valuable skills – my trusting voiceover is the perfect tool to introduce new possibilities into your reality.
So however you need me to tell your story to the world, I’m always here to help. All you need to do is get in touch with me and we can work together to bring your dreams to life.
While others my age have retired, I have instead been busy starting all over again. I built my own studio, became an audio technician, crafted a voiceover business and even wrote and narrated my own mystery novel, the first in a globe-trotting trilogy. The moral of this story is that I have the willpower and determination to start a whole new chapter and can do everything it takes to ensure that I bring that same spirit and graft when I work with you.
Throughout my life, I've had a multitude of careers and I've poured my passion and creativity into every single one with full measure. Beyond my earliest memories in my church choir, across my stint in the Marine Corp, and on to my mastery of the art of voiceover - every single moment of my life has been filled with dedication and passion for the craft. That's why I bring a lifetime of energy and love into every project we work together on.
I live for connecting with other human beings. So many of my relationships, both professional and personal have spawned into life long friendships. In fact, there's almost no difference between the personal and professional when it comes to how I treat others. My VO business is a part of me and so are the relationships I build with my clients. I make it a necessity that I am always there to best serve you while you trust me with your invaluable project.
Ever since I was a little kid, I've played instruments and written short stories. I've always been creative and voiceover is the next step on my creative journey. I can bring that unlimited supply of imagination to your work, finding a unique angle to give my read the extra vibrance so it can truly flourish. Whether it's a piece of fiction, a commercial or corporate script, there's always that extra bit of creative juice to extract to make it extra special.
I’ve had my own custom demos made for you to get the most complete vision of how my voice compliments your project.
I’m always happy to provide you a custom sample read of your script if you want to skip the imagining part and simply hear me bring your script to life. You can get in touch with me using my details below and I’ll get a sample to you right away.
Your customers need a warm and inviting voice, so they know that your business cares about them. At whatever stage I’m connecting with your customers, I have the friendly and welcoming voice that makes them feel completely at ease. Don’t hesitate to ask for a sample of your own commercial script if you need to hear more.
Here, I share an extract from the audiobook of my very own novel “The Essence“, chronicling the experiences of a thriller author who discovers that fact is stranger, and far more dangerous, than fiction. I pour the same passion and emotion into every book I narrate, because I initimately know the love that goes into every single word.
When you hire me, you also get my own personal home recording studio added in as part of the cost.
There’s no waiting list for me to use my local studio, so I can always do my recordings and any follow-ups to your timeline.
My studio has even been graded as “Excellent” by John McClain, a multi-Emmy award-winning sound designer, who I hired to consult on my recording studio to ensure it was up to a professional standard for my clients.
Equally, my studio is equipped with the same recording set-up that you would find in any commercial recording studio around the world:
Â
I invite you to take a listen to my recording booth and see (or maybe hear) just how great it sounds!
Once I've got your script, I'll interpret it and find the right voice. Or if you have a vision already, I'll bring it to life. I'll send you over a short sample, so you can hear if I'm capturing it!
Once you've heard my read and think I'm the right fit, then I'll send over my quote for the work. If you're happy with everything, then I'll deliver the first draft within 24 hours.
I'm more than happy to do additional followup edits and re-takes to make it just perfect. I'll even do all the post production and edit it all, so it's ready to use in your production right away.
There’s nothing more important to me than bringing life to someone’s dreams.
The best way I can breath life into your words is not only by providing the perfect read, but also making the whole experience a breeze from start to finish.
Whether you need me to deliver your 15 second commercial or your 400 page novel, you need to have faith that your script is in safe hands throughout our entire time working together, because telling your story is a huge responsibility.
That’s why I am always here to answer any questions, deliver work on your schedule and make sure everything is perfect before you send it out into the world.
