Head Writer and Audio Editor
Pinkerton’s Ghosts
01.2020 - Current
- Along with two other authors, I have been writing 3,000-4,000 word short stories on a weekly basis for an online radio show. I then record myself reading the story, edit the sound quality, add music, and publish these stories on YouTube. I not only edit my stories, but those of the other two authors as well, totally over 100 hours of audio content.
Actor
Self-Employed Actor through SAG-AFTRA
01.2010 - Current
- It is my responsibility to memorize scripts, coordinate with my agent and manager to make sure I am on time to auditions, deliver the most believable performance I can for a role, and then immediately forget and move on to the next role. Handling rejection and managing expectations is key in this field.
Audiobook Narrator
Superversive Press
01.2019 - 01.2021
- I was responsible for coordinating with authors at a publishing house, narrating their books using voices, accents, and inflections that they approved of. Unexpectedly, I learned a great deal of people skills on this job, as authors often have a set idea in mind what a character sounds like, and can be discontent if the narrator has a differing vision.
