Voice Actor
As a child, Eric would read books aloud during family car trips, and was told that his spoken voice was appealing and engaging. Throughout a lifetime of singing he has often heard that he has a “great voice.” But voice acting is about more than having a great voice – it’s about going beyond the script to FIND RESONANCE with the audience. His ongoing training in voiceovers and narration has given him the tools and skills needed to achieve the objective of connecting with the listeners emotionally – a goal he already appreciated as a performing musician.
“I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and I was definitely imagining your voice on what I was listening to this morning.”

Ukulele instructor and performer
Eric has been singing since he was a toddler, and the center of his musical expression has always been singing. While performing both solo and in a broad range of vocal styles and ensembles, he has discovered how important it is to FIND RESONANCE with the audience and to bring the lyrics to life for them. The ukulele is an ideal accompaniment for singing, and since picking it up ten years ago, Eric has expanded his skills to perform with several small ensembles, and to be certified as an ukulele teacher. He now plays ukulele and U-Bass, a short-scale bass that kinda sounds like an upright, and has even written a couple of songs!
