Tips, tricks, and tutorials for voiceover artists and audiobook narrators at any stage in their career.
When I was starting out, and at many points in my career, I spent far too much time, money, and/or stress just trying to figure things out on my own and then wondering if I was on the right track. So here are all of the things I wish I had known sooner, some of my brilliant ideas, my spectacular failures, and everything in between. With any luck, they'll help you out in some small way.
In case you're curious, here's a bit about who I am:
I'm a professional voice-over artist, audiobook narrator, and actor with over 15 years under my belt, six Best Performance of the Year nominations, and quite a bit of training (NYU, MFA Acting). I've also worked with some pretty cool companies, clients, and collaborators like BMW, Netflix, Microsoft, IBM, Samsung, McDonald's, Ragù, Spotify, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, Audible, Penguin Random House, and Bayer, among many more.

The Live Q&A is on! I'll schedule it in the next week or two, in the evening EST.
If you have a burning question, comment below. I'll focus on those folks who are able to join live, but for those who can't, this way I'll still be able to take some questions in absentia.
Have a great weekend all!

Hey all! No promises, but to gauge the temperature of the room...would a Live Q&A streamed here on YT be helpful to you?
If there is enough interest, I will look into setting one up down the road! And if there are particular things you'd like to talk about let me know. Thanks!

Hey all! One of you suggested that I offer feedback on some of YOUR work in a video or two--a great idea I think!
If that's something you'd be interested in feel free to submit an mp3 sample via this form:

Because this round is somewhat a 'test run,' to keep things manageable for myself it will be first come first serve and limited to subscribers. (Depending on how things go that might shift in future iterations.) If any questions or suggestions pop up, let me know!
