Voice Over Sanguinity 

I have been a professional storyteller for over thirty years, and I was the host of Man vs History on The History Channel.

I have written and recorded over twenty-five comedy/storytelling albums that have won numerous awards. 

I have been a Featured Teller at The National Storytelling Festival since 2002, as well as at hundreds of other events and venues across the county. 

I have done voice over work for my television show, and for a few limited commercials and events locally.

 

I say words out loud for a living. I would like to give Voice Over a try.

I am a PEN Award winning author, which I understand means nothing if you want to hear my voice, but I can tell the story out loud.
