about
I am first and foremost an actor. To that end, I am chiefly concerned with, as Sanford Meisner says: “behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” Interestingly, I have done so much in my life: corporate boss, teacher, neighbor dad, bad-boy, criminal mastermind (ok, not that), cool under pressure pilot, Tall Ship sailor, rogue, cowboy, US Navy veteran, that I wind up having a lot to reach back for when developing a character that will best embody the message you’re looking to convey. Plus…I can make you sound pretty nice.
Book me today for a fun, professional consultation.
I am represented by MCVO in Boston, LA, and NYC. Member WoVO, APA.

My position on A.I. / Synthetic Voice / Voice Modeling
You may notice that in the age of AI, I am not a subscriber. Why, John?! It’s “here to stay, after all, and if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em!” I can’t do that, because I reject the phony. I reject ersatz, the same as I would reject sawdust in my sausage. Because I care. I care about authenticity. I care about the human element in voice acting. I think there is inherent value – value in and of itself – in human-crafted art. I connect to the listener – personally. I make a product that you and I can be proud of, not something produced as a cheap “good enough” alternative or ersatz. A soul is necessary to connect with other souls. That copy you wrote to connect you to the people you’re trying to communicate with…don’t you want it acted, rather than just recited? I mean, you are interested in communicating, are you not? I’m not against machines, but machines don’t have a soul and they have no business in areas where souls belong. Your competition may beat you on price, but you’ll have the better product.
