Voice Work
I have had the good fortune to do some voice work for a few projects online, and I am looking forward to doing more voice work in the future. This page is your guide to my voice acting appearances.
Flying Island Press
Pirate’s Cove
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
My first voice acting role released online was the part of Oberon, the King of the Fae in the Pirate’s Cove production of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This production went live on March 25th, 2011, and my character made his first appearance on April 8th. This is an excellent production and it was very fun to be a part of. I hope you enjoy it!

Treasure Island
This summer I will be taking on my biggest part yet: narration of Treasure Island as the adult Jim Hawkins. This looks to be another excellent production. The first chapter went live on June 10th, 2011. We had planned on posting new episodes every other Friday, but life has interfered and slowed down the production schedule a bit.

The Taming of the Shrew
Due to my workload with Treasure Island, I’ve been cast as Grumio for Taming of the Shrew. The original plan called for producing Taming along side of Treasure Island, so that we could move smoothly from one production to the next. It isn’t working out quite that way. Taming will go live after Treasure Island completes.

Scrivener’s Circle
Absolution
This was my first casting for voice work. Absolution is an original story by one of the two partners who run Scrivener’s Circle, Laura Nicole. My role in this production is Father Paeter Rikoff, a priest and an awakened warrior for God in a very physical struggle for control of the world. I don’t really show up until the latter part of the story, but it was an interesting role. Absolution is still in production. Chapter 1 was released on May 30th, 2011. The first five chapters have been released, and Laura promises to resume the podcast soon as soon as the remaining chapters have been completed.
Metamor City
Live episode at Balticon 45
In 2011 I was honored to be part of the cast for the Metamor City live episode for Balticon 45. I played a Domovoi, a somewhat vengeful “Russian” house elf. This production was great fun, and we had a wonderful audience, and an extra special surprise after the production. Chris Lester, the creator of Metamor City, had released the episode into his podcast feed, but some recent issues with his feed have caused the episode to be removed. I will post a link back to it when the feed is fully restored.
Scott Roche
Ginnie Dare
Scott Roche, sometime Windows correspondent for The Nifty Tech Blog, host of Galley Table, and one of the founders of Flying Island Press, published his young adult novel Ginnie Dare in 2011. Now he’s working on a podcast version of the story. In this production, I’m the voice of Brad, the ship’s AI, and Ginnie’s tutor and confidante. This podcast is still in production, and I’ll be updating the link as soon as I have more details.
Veronica Giguere
Fear of Thought ~ Upcoming Production ~
Veronica Giguere has begun a new full cast podcast project, and I’m going to be part of it. I haven’t gotten the go-ahead to post details yet, but I’ll update this section when I have something more to share.
P.C. Haring
~ Upcoming Production ~
P.C. Haring’s latest novel, the first book in the Slipspace trilogy, is scheduled to be produced as a podcast in 2012. P.C. has offered me a part in the production, and I’ve accepted, but the rest of the details are still being worked out. The working title P.C. announced for the book back in October is Harbringer, but I don’t know if that is the title that will be released. Stay tuned for more developments.

Your voice work in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Treasure Island are both incredible. I really appreciate all your hard work, and the hours your put in behind the mic.
You do a great job as Oberon, he can be so evil and you play it just right. And I can think of anyone else that I would want as the Narrator for Treasure Island.
Thank you, Jeff! Doing voice work has been a chance for me to get back to acting in some small way.
I have enjoyed doing Midsummers. It is so wonderfully written if you just think of them as real people who just speak oddly. Oberon is wonderfully cruel, but can also be wonderfully generous.
I hope Treasure Island will live up to everyone’s expectations. And that my voice will recover so I can get farther ahead with my narration!
