Bio:
I was born on January 16th, 1988 in Munster, Indiana. I now live in North Royalton, Ohio. Besides my voice talent, there is not much else of interest about me except for my musical ability. I started playing the trumpet around 4th grade and gradually gained respect for my abilities. I started out majoring in Music Education at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio, however since there isn't much future in such a profession, I switched to Computer and Information Science after 3 semesters, and have now switched once again to a Communication major. Around the time that I entered college (2006), I started to gain interest in the field of voice acting. I had been receiving compliments about my voice from friends and family members, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I borrowed my friend's headset to record some amateur impressions and as a result, I began to receive compliments of the same kind from people all over the internet. Eventually, at the end of 2007, I bought my own microphone, a Samson CO1U USB Condenser Mic with podcasting pack and PS01 Popfilter. I immediately began recording and advertising myself all over the internet and my school. Unfortunately, nobody seemed to care and, while I got attention, it wasn't the kind I was looking for. Of course, it was because I wasn't directly advertising my voice and auditioning for anything, but at the time I didn't know how to go about doing that. Finally, in July of 2008, an online friend who was also into voice acting directed me to The Voice Acting Club (VAC), which is an amazing site for anyone who wants to get started in voice acting, plus the Admin is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. As I became active on this site, submitting auditions and securing roles, I also became active on The Voice Acting Alliance (VAA), which is a much more crowded site that attracts more professional (at least, more so than the VAC for the most part) artists and producers. The VAA is recommended for slightly more advanced voice actors than the VAC, since you'll be battling against many more actors for parts than you would otherwise. So anyways, check out those sites if you want to get started as a voice actor. That's all I've got for now, but I'll update this as my life goes on. Later.
