About
Back in 2014, when I was teaching Russian at the University of South Carolina, I started narrating videos for my students – to help with those late night, pre-midterm jitters. Before long people were commenting not just on Russian grammar, but on my delivery: clear, but also reassuring and encouraging. And when someone who'd never seen me before recognized my voice at a national conference ("Hey, are you the guy from that YouTube channel...?"), I realized that it was time to take narration seriously.
Since then I've been fortunate to hone my craft at VoicetraxSF with teachers like Samantha Paris, Thom Pinto, Jeannie Elias, Tina Morasco, Dave Fennoy, Peter Dunne, Vicki Baum, Chuck Kourouklis, Brian Sommer, and many more. Conference workshops with Dave Walsh, Brad Hyland, Libby Clearfield, and Elaine Clark have provided further inspiration, and I now work from a home studio (Shure KSM32, Scarlett interface, Reaper DAW) near San Francisco.
That YouTube channel is still going strong with nearly 2,000,000 views, and I'd love to bring the same clarity and thoughtful, positive energy to your projects.
