About me
Ever since I was a kid, I knew that my purpose in this world was to perform and entertain. For a while, it was kinda tough for me to figure out exactly how I wanted to achieve this. Throughout middle and high school, I took just about every possible music class there was: Band, Choir, Guitar, and then I started Theater as a Junior. After high school, I spent a couple of years in community college and then transferred into Virginia Tech's Music Production Program. There I learned how to run and operate audio equipment such as XLR mics, patch-bays, mixers, etc. I also acquired the necessary skills to record myself through DAWs such as Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and Reaper. Shortly after I transferred in, I joined a stand-up comedy club after seeing a show. My time in this club helped to see life in a different way as to where I could make fun out of it and I think did fairly well. We also worked on some other projects such as YouTube skits, roast booths, and we even tried to make a cartoon called Broke. Sadly the cartoon never saw the light of day, but there was a bright side. I ended up writing a lot of the scripts for the project and made up voices for the characters and both my colleagues and myself loved them. It was after this that I decided that I wanted to be a voice actor as a full time career.
