ranging from Mel Torme and John Mayer, to Deep Purple and Jose Feliciano.
At the request of his professional voice over clients, he began offering
voice over training sessions in 1991, and in 1992 developed and copyrighted
the first version of the “Voice Over Industry Guidebook”
for voice talent.
With a passion for teaching and producing, Edge Studio transformed in
2000 to exclusively produce, cast, and train voice over.
Voice talent rely on David's perceptive ability to help them find their
