Truncated demo reel for 2019, presenting a mix of animation-style characters and more conversational reads.

2019 Character Reel

Vocal cover, instrumental track taken from re-release of Samael's Eternal album (1999). I loved channeling my gothic metal influences for this one.

I'm pleased to present my brand new video game demo reel for 2020. Whether he's a nerdy teen, an authority figure, a brash dwarf or orc, or an underhanded villain, I'm ready to bring your character to life!

Huge thanks to Hayden Daviau for scripting, Kira Buckland for directing and Trent Martin for mixing!

Video Game Reel

In celebration of the beta release of Bleeding Edge, have a little bit of me doing voice impressions of my favorite fighter from the game: Níðhöggr, the black metal icon. Listen hard and strike the fire!

Bleeding Edge - Níðhöggr Impressions

So there's a trend going around Twitter where artists were asking their followers for six characters to draw fanart of, and voice actors began to do the same for voicing six characters. Here's a half a dozen of the suggestions I got, some of which were a bit outside of my usual comfort zone. Thanks again to everyone who threw ideas at me!

In order:
Kyoya Ootori suggested by SimonD. Aelsi
Angel Dust suggested by Nikki Flynn
Claptrap suggested by Gianni Matragrano
Decim suggested by @NiAsobu
Sgt. Dornan suggested by @vault_dweller27
Dan Kuso suggested by @Arched_File
There's a bonus... but you'd be better off hearing it for yourself!

Six Characters Challenge

Vocal cover of "Stellar Tombs" from Draconian's album Sovran (2015). An interesting push outside of my usual comfort zone.

At long last, here's my new animation reel for you all to hear! Whether he's a no-nonsense marine, a snarky sidekick, an evil genius, a rockstar, a high elf, an orc... when I say I can bring your character to life, I'm ready to prove it!

Special thanks to Hayden Daviau for writing some of these spots in their earliest form, and to Tom Schalk for writing the final script, directing and also mixing. Hope to work with you again in the future!

Animation Demo Reel

VOLUME WARNING: Contains some serious peaking

A completely raw audio sample from a D&D flashback session, part of my orc barbarian's first meeting with Paul Stufkosky's half-orc monk, Sabien. Spellchuckers can easily screw with Axe, enough said.

Feel free to give the monkman a listen as well:
