Besides doing voice work for commercials, documentaries, and audiobooks I also love videography and photography. Recently, I upgraded my camera gear to include the Fuji X-T4 with an Atomos Ninja V recorder/monitor. This rig enables me to shoot 4k 60fps video in 10-bit, 4:2:2 color!

It’s been to long since I’ve updated my news/blog section of this website. With social media seeming to be such a popular tool for news/updates/promotion, my website seems to have taken a bit of a backseat. I wanted to share today a project that I was involved in.
I was chosen to narrate a short film to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill for the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council:

The AKG K271 Mk. II - My preferred headphone to wear while recording
I've been throwing around the idea of reviewing equipment used for voice over and voice acting. In fact, a lot of the same gear used to record human speech translates great to music as well. After all, the human voice is an instrument itself!
It hasn't been easy to sift through the numerous microphones, audio interfaces, headphones, software, microphone preamps, XLR cables and soundproofing materials available. In my journey to provide premium quality sound, I've learned what works and what doesn't. Perhaps I can offer some of my knowledge, as well as showcase why I use the equipment I do in my studio.
Hit me up on Twitter or Facebook and let me know what you would like to see. Microphones? Interfaces? Headphones? Software?

All to often we take our lives for granted. We never realize the incredible power we have over our own destiny. We sometimes don't see the ability we have to be the storytellers of our lives.

I had a blast working on the next installment of the Bowman Chronicles by author Robert Brumm. Book two continues the adventures of Rich Bowman:

In the meantime, Amy Rugg starts showing interest in Rich again after he shows her his dark side, and the mob hasn't given up on finding Joker. Unfortunately for Rich, he is their best lead in trying to track her down.

Spring break of 1990 is over. Richard Bowman has resigned to keep his head down and finish his sophomore year at Grafton High School the way he started it - academically fair to middling, socially mediocre, and romantically very much well below average.
When the opportunity to befriend a group of senior guys lands in Rich's lap practically overnight, he steps out of his comfort zone of weekends in front of his Commodore 64 to a world of cigarette smoke, basement beer kegs, and promiscuous members of the opposite sex.
In the meantime, the admin for a local online bulletin board asks Rich to hold onto a mysterious encrypted computer file. Rich reluctantly agrees, only to find it may put him and his entire family in danger.
Rich Bowman and the Uzi Poopie Loopies is a trip down memory lane lined with mullets, pegged pants, hair bands, and cell phones the size of toaster ovens. A simple and better time. Or was it?
I had a blast narrating this book! If you enjoyed that nostalgic feeling that Ernest Cline's "Ready Player One" and "Armada" gave you, Brumm's "Bowman Chronicles" is not to be missed! You can listen to the retail sample below:
