  • I am currently living/based in Metro Manila, Philippines. We follow the GMT+8 timezone, same as Hong Kong and Singapore. If you are working from another country, you can refer to some of the inquiries below—don’t worry about the time difference!

  • Although I am technically non-union, I do follow the principles, rate guides, and ethos of voiceover organizations, such as VocAlliance (headed by respected and tenured voiceover artists here in the Philippines), as well as the Global Voice Acting Academy (GVAA).

    All of my rates, contract details, clauses, and riders are in strict compliance to the aforementioned organization’s industry standards.

If you have any questions or curiosities that aren’t covered below, send me a message!

  • I am fluent in English & Tagalog (one of the dialects spoken in the Philippines) on a Native proficiency, and I am literate in Nihongo (Japanese) at the N5 proficiency (based on the JLPT worldwide exam). Yes, I can definitely provide voice-overs for any of these, though for Nihongo, I will require the Romaji as well.

  • My default way of speaking uses the neutral North American accent. Depending on the need, I am able to do other North American accents, and a RP UK accent—otherwise known as a “Received Pronunciation” or the common/conversational tone. That said, I am incredibly open to working with you, your team, and on-board dialect coaches so we can perfect the voice of your character or voiceover!

  • Absolutely! The audio and demos you see (and hear) were chosen specifically as a showcase of range, and what I can bring to your project. For a more comprehensive portfolio of my aired or published material, please email me. You may also request a cold read for a particular role or audition, with a maximum of 6 lines each character.

  • Yes, definitely! Please send me a message or email so I can forward you the link.

  • 🚫 I have a strict no AI policy in effect for all my projects. This means that I do not give my consent, and I do not condone using my voice (or any other human voice) to train LLM, help generative AI engines mimic human performers, or miscellaneous AI usage to create digital doubles or soundalikes of my voiceover work in any way, shape, or form. This extends to generative images or media created via AI.

    To learn more about this, please read here.

  • Yes, I am currently on-roster as a voiceover talent in the following, Philippine-based audio houses/studios:

    • loudBox Studios (Makati City)

    • HIT Productions (Makati City)

    • Wonder Collab Studios (Makati City)

    I am also a registered talent with the UK-based voiceover company, FlyVoiceOvers. You can also find me in various online, professional rosters (to be updated: ACX, Voquent, Mandy.com. Backstage, Fiverr, Librivox.)

  • This depends on the type of project, the material and if it will be aired or internal, where it will air, if it’s monetized or boosted media, etc. For a more customized package that’s tailor-fit to your budget, please send me a message. However, you may refer to the GVAA Rate Guide, which is what many voice actors around the world use as a reference to standard rates.
    For Philippine-based clients, please refer to the VocAlliance rate guide. I send costing in PHP (Philippine Pesos).
    For international clients, I send costing in USD (US Dollar), or use this as basis for converting currencies.

  • Global payments can be made via PayPal, Wise, and Payoneer. Bank/wire transfers are on a case-to-case basis.
    Local payments can be made via bank transfers and check payments.

  • Nothing is impossible, my friend! With the help of the internet, Source Connect, Zoom, and other such similar software, I am totally open to doing live recording sessions from anywhere in the world! Message me and we can talk specifics!

  • If you are located within Metro Manila in the Philippines, I am happy to travel to your studio! If you are located somewhere in Visayas or Mindanao, we can talk transportation or alternative methods to record so that you receive the most seamless outcome.
    If you are located outside the Philippines, I am available to do remote recordings at your most convenient time. However, if it is easier for you to record all in one place, regardless of location, I am very much open to traveling abroad and across the seas! Let’s chat about it!
