For 18 years, I recorded at numerous studios in the Toronto-Golden Horseshoe area, and frequently recorded and edited from my home-based professionally equipped studio (broadcast-quality recording): Rode NT 1-A condenser microphone with Stedman filter in shock mount, Apogee Duet, 2 x M Audio speakers BX5A, Adobe Audition DAW. Since moving to the Vancouver area in 2021, I mostly record from home, which I can do on my own, with clients listening in through Zoom, or connected to worldwide recording studios through Source Connect Pro (paid version).

Corporate narrations, voicemail systems, e-learning modules, TV/radio ads, PSAs, on-hold messaging, in-flight and in-store voice announcements, books, documentaries, described video and more, I’ve done them all, with/without English audio playing in my earphones, for dubbing or timing purposes. I particularly enjoy the challenge of making French content fit into the same time requirements as its English original version (translated French is typically 30% longer than English).

My professional French VO career started in 2003, when Mike “Michel” McCurlie (one of the founders of MJM Studios in Hamilton and a music pro) took me under his wing. My experience has since broadened and today, I can produce/direct, revise scripts for content and timing, and prepare audio capsules through storytelling.
