About

I spent my Air Force career as a linguist, trained to hear the difference a single sound makes and to reproduce it exactly. That ear is what I bring to the booth.

Born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Appalachia. I perform a native Appalachian accent alongside RP British, Mid-Atlantic, Texan, Mississippi Southern, and New York, and I speak conversational Persian-Farsi plus some Spanish and Welsh.

Every voice you hear is performed by a person. Character voices hold their shape across a full book — you shouldn't need a dialogue tag to know who just spoke.

The booth

Clean files, first time.

AKG C214 through a Focusrite Scarlett, treated booth, mono, room floor measured at −88.6 dBFS.

Mastered to ACX spec and verified against it by report before delivery — levels, noise floor, format, room tone, file length.
