Tell Us a Little About Your Broadcast-Quality Home Studio. Where Is It? What Kind of Equipment do You Have? What Do You Like About It?
I love my home studio! My wife and I built my studio in a 3×5 walk-in closet when we bought our house 6 years ago. Had electrical installed, bought a laptop that has fan control, did all of the treatment, etc. We had so much fun with it. It’s my workspace every day, so it needed to feel personal. We use the spare bedroom to the closet as our studio dog’s “lounge.” She has her own couch. I love my setup – I have a Sennheiser 416 MKH mic, and Apollo Solo preamp. I’ve become a whiz at Adobe Audition, and I am told I come through super nicely through SourceConnect!

What’s One Thing That Most People Don’t Know About You?
I was born legally blind in my left eye due to severe refractive amblyopia. It wasn’t correctable, so it messes with my depth perception.
How Did You Get Into Voiceover Work?
I quit smoking so I could do it. I made a deal with myself that if I quit smoking after 30 years, I could finally have a voice to do voiceover. And I wanted to do it by 50. I started training for VO when I was 49!
Do You Remember the First Voiceover Job you Ever Did?
The first thing I actually recorded for pay was an eLearning series for my old company back in 2020 – I am certain it was not good!
What Can You Offer to a New Client Who’s Working With You for The First Time?
Stellar service – I work quickly and efficiently – and I take direction & feedback like a champ. I have a ton of experience doing live sessions as well.
What Has Been Your Favorite Voiceover Project – Political or Otherwise – to Date?
I was the voice of an elderly urine sample for a medical school video. It was a hoot!
What Is Your Biggest Voiceover Pet Peeve?
When someone asks me to “do a funny voice” on command. It’s awkward.
If You Could Tell Political Voiceover Clients One Thing That Would Help You do Your Job Better, or Help Them Get What They Want Faster – What Would That One Thing Be?
Many times I don’t hear back after I send something in that I was hired to record – and then a couple weeks later I’m checking in to be sure it went to air, and sometimes I’ll get pickups from that check-in or just a “send us an invoice.” Checking in with the voice talent sooner than later is great for us so we know the status of the project. (With SO MUCH appreciation for all the producers and engineers for what they do all day every day – I am amazed by the talent out there, for real!)
What Advice Do You Have for Talents Who Want to Do Political Voiceover?
For sure get trained for it – it’s a niche area of VO, and there are certain things producers want from you that other genres may not require. Then check out local and state races to get started. Find out who does their spots. If you land a huge campaign out of the gate, yay you! However, it mostly starts small and/or local – but can build up quickly.
What Hobbies Do You Have Outside of Your Voiceover Work?
I love to go to trivia night at the beer garden, travel for work and play, host dinner parties, and fight for our Democratic rights in any way I can.
Any Final Thoughts?
Absolutely know how to go through a live session before you hop on to do one for a political ad. If you want to practice, find a coach who will talk you through it. You’ll thank yourself later.
