Hello, NEUMANN!
I have completely upgraded the signal chain in my booth, and am now recording on a Neumann TLM-103 microphone through a Grace 101 mic pre-amp, for broadcast-ready sound.
Director of SaVoa
I am pleased and honored to have been asked to become a member of the Executive Board of Directors of the Society of Accredited Voice Over Artists, and will be involved in overseeing the activities of the guild, as well as helping to develop programs and other items to educate and assist accredited voice talent members of the guild in their own voice businesses.
Now with 100% more ISDN!
I have taken “the plunge” and now have ISDN lines installed in my home studio. My codec is a Telos Zephyr Xstream and is capable of transmitting/receiving G.722, AAC, L2 and L3 audio up to 128k! I also offer APT DDD-2 (”3D2″) by appointment. So if you are a studio or voice seeker in need of an instant voice, get in touch!
Added to StudioCenter.com and Skillsoft.com
I’m gratified that the folks at StudioCenter.com (the very busy ISDN-only production houses) and Skillsoft.com (a major e-learning producer) have added me to their talent rosters. I look forward to serving many new clients through StudioCenter, and have had a good time providing narrations to Skillsoft on our Skype-to-phone sessions between my studio here in Wilmington, and their offices in Dublin, Ireland.
Talkin’ silly for Microsoft!
Via my California agent Shane Cormier at CWA, I landed a fun project from the Creature agency out of California, a web film for the Microsoft Windows Home Server. I play the server! It’s an animated film for the web called “Mommy, Why is there a Server in the House?”, and we did an ISDN linkup, once again with me at NorthStar Post at EUE/Screen Gems Studios, with voice actors and creative people in 3 different locations in California as well as Seattle! Gratified that the creative folks and the client liked what I brought to the character, can’t wait to see it! Thanks again to all!
Chris on MTV2!
The MTV Networks series “Invincible” has been airing on MTV2 in conjunction with its worldwide release on iTunes and other online media outlets. It is an animated comic using Bomb-XX technology to really bring the comic panels to life. Chris portrays Mr. Hiles, teen superhero Invincible’s high school physics teacher, a rather meek man who may well be hiding something. Check out the series! Produced by GAIN Interactive in association with MTV New Media.

“I have worked with Chris for over 15 years. His versatile voice and humor still amazes me. From a rapper to Homer Simpson, from Beavis to a serious father, Chris can do most anything he is directed to do. Plus he plays a wicked guitar. He continues to be in my pool of must-use voices.”
