Photo of Mr.VOAfter more than 35 years in the VO business, I'll bet you've heard my voice at least once... somewhere, at sometime. I am an independent "voice-for-hire", based on the US East coast.

I have a broad range of vocal styles. I can deliver blistering "hard-sell", as well as warm and fuzzy" soft-sell", with all the sincerity money can buy!

But even more important is my thorough understanding of the subtle nuances of the English language, and how words can be delivered in so many different ways, each way shading the words with new meaning.

You may have heard me on radio, TV, an industrial video, or one of numerous miscellaneous venues. And it might even have been my work that you heard, but not my voice! I have many other skills, too. Audio engineer, writer, and producer, among other things.

In addition to the thousands of commercial and industrial talent credits in my portfolio, I am the voice of the popular "America's Castles" documentary series that has been running and re-running for more than a decade on The Arts & Entertainment Network .

My base of operations is in the Charlotte, NC, area. I'm North of the city near Lake Norman (I don't have a boat) in a quiet country club community (I don't play golf!) But where I am located has little to do with my ability to serve clients anywhere.

With the help of ISDN audio, FTP sites, email, and fax machines, I can have my voice reading your script nearly anywhere in the world in as little as a few minutes! And I am a willing traveler, having been in virtually every state in the US, as well as crossing 25 other countries. So if you prefer working on location, I'm sure we can work something out.
