Statement of Philosophy:
...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Matthew 12:34.
This Biblical truth is at the heart of my approach as a character voice actor and trainer. I teach actors how to create characters and how to reveal those characters through the use of their voices. Although my primary focus is on creating character voices for animation, advertising and other voice-over performances, my method yields skills in expressing character through the voice on stage and before the camera.
