Earl’s voice acting career began with a dubious start in college where advertising students offered pizza and beer in barter of his voiceovers for their class projects. Interestingly, this included a radio campaign for the small local start-up pizza chain, Domino's Pizza.Â
After earning 2 acting degrees in Theater, along with a decade on stage, Earl transitioned solely to voice acting under the guidance of his first agent. In the beginning, it was mostly commercial work for local and regional advertisers through a long list of advertising agencies. Radio and Television commercials became a major area of work over the years with client's including Pepsi, Bud Light, Arm & Hammer, Charter Communications, Dairy Queen, Long John Silvers, Toyota, Radio Shack, Taco Bueno, Texas Lottery and so many more. Throughout his career, he has most often been hired for commercial roles requiring a strong personality, sense of humor, characterization and vocal range.Â
As Dallas was/is home to many major corporations, Earl has narrated, as well as voiced portrayals in many corporate presentations for sales, marketing, training, public relations, HR, and other employee communications. His clients include Texas Instruments, BNSF Railroad, Jimmy Dean Meats, Boeing, Alliance to Save Energy, Automotive Oil Change Association, Stevens Transport, Texas A&M University, Scottish Rite Hospital, At Home, Studio Movie Grill, Hit Entertainment, and Baylor Health Care System.
Perhaps the area of his greatest joy is in character work, and even more specifically voicing for children and the child in all of us! For the past 26 consecutive years, Earl has regularly voiced various characters for Chuck E. Cheese’s world-wide in-store entertainment and it's YouTube channel. He has created 100+ characters for Radio Disney features and promos, and has performed Booker T. Bookworm—a recurring puppet character on Barney and Friends TV series, Brussels in the PBS Sprouts Diner animated TV series, and the titular role in Weird Beard the Pirate cult video of Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Animation Festival fame. Earl has given life to the Boy Scouts of America's Pedro the Mail Burro and has voiced dozens of characters in animated home videos, podcasts and audio dramas.
Earl has performed voice matches for anime Fatal Fury 2 and Disney World’s Spaceship Earth, plus created dozens of characters for Istation’s interactive K-6 eLearning. Additionally, Earl voices characters for many video games including, Borderlands 3, Tiny Tina’s Wonderland, Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, Diablo (IV and Immortal), Europa, 3-Minutes to Midnight, and SMITE. He is often hired as a utility actor because of his broad vocal range, e.g. performing 12 distinct characters in one session for the video game Atlas Fallen.Â
Earl has agent representation across the U.S. in L.A., New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, and Denver. He has a professional home audio studio and works remotely anywhere in the world with Source Connect Standard, ipDTL, Zoom, and phone.Â
