A narrative for the Orix Foundation of Dallas 2018 Impact Report.
It’s an honor to have the opportunity to voice a project for an organization that is elevating the quality of life for those who are less fortunate. It’s also a delight to be asked to speak in my natural voice.

English Language Narrative for Zirkonzahn
My narrative for Zirkonzahn, a South Tyrolean dental company, which provides high-quality dental material, software, and milling systems to dental technicians and dentists worldwide. A German version of the narration had already been recorded when I was chosen for the English language version of the presentation, and my assignment involved matching the pacing and delivery style of the talented German voice actor.
Many thanks to Hannes Walder and the Zirkonzahn creative services team. It’s an honor to be associated with such lovely, lyrical and imaginative storytelling.

Gettin’ Back to My Roots
Ever since my family moved from Georgia to England when I was fourteen years old, I’ve worked on not sounding too Southern. Recently, however, due to industry demand, my good friend and agent Carol Rathe of GoVoices in Denver requested a Southern Voice Demo from me.
Thanks, Carol. I just hope I don’t get stuck in this accent and, like Gary Oldman, have to get voice coaching to get me back to my regular “neutral” voice.
