I bring over 40 years of experience as a Professional Actor and Classically Trained Singer to telling your stories in my own unique way. Males. Females. Aliens. Animals. Accents both Foreign and Domestic. My purpose is to serve the text and tell the author’s truth to the best of my ability. I am also a trained Audio Engineer and can provide excellent professional studio quality sound that will meet audiobook industry standards and specifications.

I will require a fully proofed, edited and record-ready manuscript. As I prepare the manuscript for recording, I will make notes and create a Word.docx with questions for you - no matter how obvious they may seem. I will attach that document to an email for you to make your responses - possibly in a different colored font. Then you can send that document back to me and I will pin it up in my recording booth for reference. It will serve as my guideline during the recording process.

I have over a decade of experience in recording, editing and mastering my audiobooks - some 200+ and counting. And coaching other narrators how to do so. Not only the acting and storytelling. But with the technical aspects as well. Such as: How to properly set up a sound deadened, reflection-free recording environment. What microphones and/or audio interfaces to purchase and why. I am also well versed in several different recording software or DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations).

You can reach me anytime via my contact page or directly by email. I check my email several times a day and respond as quickly as possible —usually the same business day.

I am professional, knowledgeable, honest, straightforward, collaborative and courteous. I not only aim to please and satisfy you but, more importantly, our listening audience as well.

I am what is known in audio engineering circles as a Gear Slut. I have had many combinations and configurations over the years. Here is my current setup.

A meticulously constructed a Home Studio Vocal Booth of my own design. It is a Room-Within-A-Room in the den on the second floor of my home.

My current go-to recording equipment: MOTU M6 audio interface - Lewitt LCT 440 Pure microphone - senal SMH-1200 headphones - Windows 10 PC.

Other microphones include: Roswell mini K87 - Studio Projets C1 (U87 EQ Mod) - TechZone Stellar X3 - Sennheiser MKH-416 (shotgun) - Audiotechnica AT875R (shotgun).

REAPER is my DAW of choice. I use it in conjunction with iZotope RX11 Standard for processing and cleanup.

I built a speed demon of a Gaming PC from scratch with more than enough processing power and on-site file storage for recording, mastering, and storing audiobook recordings. And like any packrat, I save everything! Rest assured that my recordings will never get lost in The Cloud.
