For most of my life I’ve heard, “You have a great voice!” or “Your voice is perfect for radio”. In 2015, I was approached with an opportunity to participate in a groundbreaking animation series called McTucky Fried High. This opportunity gave me the chance to be a voice actor and really explore the world of voice over. I loved it. I’ve been an on-air personality on E3 Radio for many years and voice acting has been a natural next step.
As an independent Voice Actor I have booked a television ad, digital video spot, and radio drops. My voice has been described as soothing, inviting, and a warm audible hug. I bring a smooth Midwestern authenticity which I can capture with my at-home studio. My studio is equipped with a Shure MV7 microphone, pop filter, Behringer one-channel mixer, and a MacBook Air for editing. My clients rave that I take direction very well and exceed their delivery expectations. Below are samples of my work and my official demo is coming soon. Take a listen & book me today!

McTucky Fried High is a cartoon series deep fried with love just for you and your hunger for LGBTQ media.

Patrice L. Stewart is the founder of TaxCred Academy and she reached out to me for feedback on a television commercial she produced.

We took her commercial to the next level and she booked more business and received amazing feedback from numerous individuals.
