- About the Paw
I am a voice talent, traveller and occasional musician originally hailing from the “Deep South” of the US who decided long ago to take up residency in Central Europe so as to further my goal of being a “jack of all trades”. Besides my complete addiction to a bucket of morning coffee, I am a long-time D&D nerd, music and film lover, pun aficionado, whisky fanatic, cat whisperer and have a disturbing desire to abuse my tastebuds with copious amounts of hot sauce. Why “Wonky Paw”, you ask? Well, I had a cat, you see, and said cat dislocated and fractured a digit many years back, which the local vet said “was pointless to fix. If the cat could walk, then it will do no harm”. The cat (aptly named “cat” in Polish) never seemed to mind her defect, but upon close inspection, it just looked a bit … well … wonky!
- Tools of the Trade
Though I know my way round Pro Tools and am happy to use this DAW if needed, I am frustrated with their customer service, subscription only pricing and amount of bloat for the needs of a voiceover studio. I love the underdog and community of Reaper these days, and I typically use this in my day-to-day workflow. As for my gear, the RØDE NT-1 and Audient iD44 are my loves (so clean, so quiet). If I need to go on the road (but not RØDE … hehehe, get it?), I pack up the M-Audio Solaris or Apogee MiC with the Apogee Duet and an iPad. Sadly gathering dust these days, I still do have a Mackie 1642-VLZ3 for that analogue-to-digital touch!
Below are just a few examples of some voice projects I have recorded for various studios over the years (click on the links to listen):

- Television
For two years I worked as a television presenter for the programmes "Chatter Box" and "Hit the Bank" on TVN Lingua. I also had the pleasure of working on the children's programme "Pupilek" as a guest and as the voice for the puppets used in a few skits.
The summer of 2009 also had me doing an appearance in a short film for the Bochnia Amateur Film Festival:
And sometimes, I get to be a “star” … a very distant star, but … I’ll take it!
