Before becoming a voiceover artist, I was a lawyer for about 20 years—not a stodgy, cutthroat lawyer, but a passionate, public interest lawyer, helping people primarily in the areas of consumer rights and environmental matters. I bring that intellectual, compassionate, and professional background into my voiceover performance. It also helps that I have a longtime love of acting, which I’ve renewed and amplified with professional voiceover training, including intensive, personalized coaching. What I most enjoy about being a voice actor is communicating information and ideas clearly to listeners, keeping them engaged and interested. I have an easy-to-listen-to, baritone, non-regional American, middle-aged male voice that is authoritative, knowledgeable, and trustworthy; yet also approachable, unassuming, and personable. I can explain complex material easily, without sounding stuffy. But I also love to have fun with amusing or wry scripts that entertain and inform at the same time.
