CREDITS
SKILLS
| Sales | Having a background in sales has provided me with the tools of effective communication. Voice, tone, and wording all play a part in a customers decision on whether or not they will proceed with a sale, so ensure that your next voice talent knows what customers are looking for. |
| Education | As a teacher, I needed to learn very quickly how to attract attention of students of all ages. Having taught almost every grade, including adult learning, I needed to be able to quickly adapt my teaching style from one age group the next, while not sacrificing the learning material. This ensured that students would not only pay attention during class, but absorb and consolidate the material also. |
| Performance | My entire life has been dedicated to creating characters and making others smile. As soon as I was old enough to realize that cartoon characters were voiced by real people, I knew that was what I wanted to do. Over the years, that has evolved into learning not just what to say, but how to say it, which takes a certain level of professionalism in performing arts. |

TRAINING
| Ron Rubin Coaching | Ron Rubin has voiced hundreds of cartoon and commercial characters on series such as The Avengers, Sailor Moon, X-Men, Care Bears and hundreds more! Ron helped Patrick to continue captivating the listener with the use of inflection at the end of sentences. Subtleties such as these can be the difference in keeping a potential client or student engaged in the product or lesson. |
| Voice Over Training with Gravy for the Brain | Taking advantage of the courses has helped Patrick learn everything there is to know about the craft of voice over. From acting techniques, to marketing plans, to technical processing, Patrick has dived deep into the materials to absorb as much as possible about voice over. |
| Uncle Roy's Workshop | "Uncle" Roy Yokelson is renowned for his technical abilities in the voice over industry. He has helped thousands of students get their home studio sound quality rival that of brick and mortar studios, ensuring that students walk away with a sound that clients will use again and again. |
