I actually take more stock in who is hot NOW.ĥ) Can you offer 3 helpful tips for newbies trying to make it in the voice-over industry? No. While I am a fan of legends like Ernie Anderson, Danny Dark and Don LaFontaine, it is actually today’s contemporary success stories that shape the future. This was my biggest break and the mark of all that has followed.Ĥ) Who are your VO idols/mentors? Who influenced your work as a VO artist? Scott Shannon molded me for radio instantly. The mothership in the company was WPLJ, who later hired me for V/O.
If you go after it, you’ll make more money.ģ) How did you get started as a VO actor? What was your first gig? I actually voiced the station I produced, WRQX.
WHERE DID YOU GO SMORZ FULL
I succeeded from full time radio in the late 90’s and have been doing 100% freelance V/O since.Ģ) What do you love about your job? I like being my own boss and being rewarded commensurate to work. My last stint was creative services with WRQX Washington DC. I also had associations with Scott Shannon, Jym Ryan, Tom Cuddy, Chris Conley and many others who were a wealth of knowledge. His wealth of industry knowledge and experience is enough to want to make you grab some ‘smores and sit around a campfire just to listen to what he has to say…especially because he has one of the greatest voices ever.ġ) What radio VO work have you done in the past? I worked in several small markets, winding up in the Baltimore and Washington markets working for programming legends like Steve Kingston, Chuck Morgan and Lorrin Palagi.
