Anomy — My Way to Sea Manifesto
A narrative for Anomy, Europe’s largest maker of paddleboards, which are available here in the U.S.
The video, which appears on the Anomy website, was produced by Arnau Giol at Jirada Digital Creative Agency of Madrid and Barcelona, Spain. We recorded the narrative in a three-way session between the ad agency’s production manager Arnau Giol and the account executive in Madrid, the client in Barcelona, and myself in the U.S.
Kurz – Real Metal in Digital Printing
A voice-over for a film to tease the introduction of digital metalized printing from LEONHARD KURZ Stiftung & Company of Fuerth, Germany.
It was an honor to have been chosen by Kurz as the English language voice for their product introduction, and a pleasure to work with Hannes Heidenreich, Creative Director of R5 Media, also of Fuerth.
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.
Narrative for Woolaroc Branding Film
A recent narrative for the legendary Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Preserve. Hidden away in the rugged Osage Hills of Northeastern Oklahoma, Woolaroc was established in 1925 as the ranch retreat of oilman Frank Phillips. The ranch is a 3,700-acre wildlife preserve, home to many species of native and exotic wildlife, such as buffalo, elk and longhorn cattle. Woolaroc is also a museum with an outstanding collection of western art and artifacts, Native American material, one of the finest collections of Colt firearms in the world, and so much more.
Produced by Jim Spanos for ConocoPhillips.
Cowboy Voice for a Texas Brewery
A recent cowboy voiceover for Edgewise Eight Brewing. Producer-Director Ryan Boles of Ft. Worth came to the right guy when he began looking for a gruff & gravelly old cowboy to voice his commercial for this award-winning craft beer brewer in Weatherford, Texas.
Thanks to Ryan, and to Edgewise Eight owners Colt, Clifton, and Barney Ellis. I’m honored to be your signature voice.

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.
