Hi, I’m Keith! Lovely to meet you.

I’m an audiobook narrator and voice actor based in Michigan. My specialties are romance audiobooks and European accents and languages, including audiobook-fluent German, Russian, Italian, and French. Other voiceover projects I’ve recorded include corporate/e-learning, informational videos, and commercials.

I’ve been performing my entire life, spending a decade as an instrumentalist until a transformative high school production of Les Miserables awakened my passion for theater. (Funny story: I auditioned for Javert but won the role of Valjean!) This led me to conservatory training and an almost ten-year career as an opera singer and actor. I appeared at Carnegie Hall and traveled around the US and abroad, cultivating my natural ear for language, my love of artistic collaboration, and the extraordinary stamina and vocal control that the life of a narrator demands.

As an experienced on-air personality, I also host and produce classical music programs, sharing the fascinating stories behind the pieces and engaging the listener as only a storyteller can. I’m proud to be broadening the horizons of classical music audiences all over the country with the syndicated show I created, GAMEPLAY, which celebrates the worlds of video game music.
