Creator, Producer, Host

Inside Acting is a long-form interview podcast about finding success in the entertainment industry.

From 2009 – 2018, I co-hosted and produced over 300 episodes, helping to demystify the actor’s journey for tens of thousands of listeners around the world. All 314 episodes are still freely available to stream and download, everywhere podcasts are found.

As creator, producer, and co-host, I was responsible for guest pitching, research, and outreach; scheduling, recording, and interviewing; editing, mixing, and delivery of the final product on a weekly basis; episode scripting, and copywriting for the website (WordPress), newsletter (Mailchimp), and social media channels; monetization and sponsorship obligations; and live event facilitation, all in coordination with a small but mighty team.

I developed workflow templates and standardized publishing procedures leveraging a variety of software platforms including Google Docs, Asana, BaseCamp, Trello, Slack, Todoist, and Podbean, ensuring a regular flow of relevant and insightful guests, content, events, and revenue.

Favorite guests include Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash), Jenna Fischer (The Office), Damon Lindelof (LOST), Tony Horton (P90X), Craig Ballantyne (The Perfect Day Formula), and Doug Jones (The Shape of Water), among many others.

Writer, Director, Producer

AnimationVO is my micro studio, serving aspiring and experienced voiceover talent in creating rich, immersive animation and video game voiceover demos.

Each demo is hand-tailored to the individual’s strengths, goals, and experience. I write, direct, and produce an average of 15 spots for each client, and leverage a combination of found and manufactured sound effects and music to flesh out the world of each piece. Then, I assemble the demo with a careful ear for momentum, flow, transitions, and the most important audience of all: casting directors.

The result is a professional showcase of each voice actor’s skills, experience, and strengths. Many clients report that their demo has been instrumental in their signing with agents and managers, and in continuing to book TV, web, and video game work.
