I enjoy acting, puppeteering, and other types of public performance.
Voice performance
- The Modern Technology Podcast Network – I voice (and write and produce) multiple podcasts on my own podcast network. The flagship sketch-comedy program, Modern Technology Breaks, features a wide range of my character voices.
- Callie & Izzy – I provided voiceovers throughout this webseries and served as the show’s narrator in Season Two.
- I voiced the narrating character in a stick-figure animation of a short horror story from the annals of /r/nosleep.
- Heavily-treated samples of my voice appear in the drum & bass track “Synthetic Seas” by Belgian cyberpunk musician HYQXYZ.
- I voice a main character and some others in a cartoon series made for anti-smoking curriculum Tobacco 101.
- The Media Show – In addition to being puppeteered by me, the series regular “Monster of the Week” and many one-shot guest characters were voiced by me over the six years I was part of the project. I also sang the original song “What’s it Like to Be a Hacker?”
- A selection of my other voice work appears on my Soundcloud.
- For radio, podcasting, and other audio-based work I do outside of acting, check out my audio portfolio.
Puppetry and such
- The Media Show – Puppets rage against the media machine on Internet TV. In addition to writing, crafting, and other duties behind the camera during my six years with the program, I performed as the recurring “Monster of the Week” as well as a rotating cast of disposable interns and other characters, puppet and human.
- Aisle Six – A theatrical musical in the early stages of which I had a dual role as a repressed grocery store worker and his independently-aware hand puppet. At one point I performed a duet with myself… it’s complicated.
- I also do puppet-crafting and construction; for more info on that check out my visual art page.
Live performance
- Standup comedy – I’ve popped into the standup world now and then. I was a semi-regular at Say Everything, a unique form of standup showcase in Manhattan hosted by comedian Liz Glazer in the mid-2010s; you can hear audio of some of these “Say Everything” sets on my Soundcloud. I have also emceed and performed at other shows around town.
- Emceeing – I’ve found myself in some demand as an event host and emcee. I’ve done so at the HOPE conference since 2012, and at other events such as New York City Pagan Pride Day.
- Improv – I studied and performed at the celebrated New York City comedy theatre The Pit.
- Nightmare: New York – I was a performer at New York City’s longest-running, most elaborate, and most hardcore theatrical haunted house in 2014 when I played serial killer David Berkowitz and other supporting roles.
- Aisle Six – A theatrical musical in the early stages of which I, at a certain point, had a pair of speaking/singing roles at the same time.
- Street theatre – Once in a blue moon in the mid-2000s, I was seen doing a particular type of clowning around in Central Park, Union Square, and other NYC landmarks.
