As a twenty two-year veteran of the voiceover industry, Mark has lent his expertise to nearly every part of the voice acting process, from award-winning commercial voice casting to recording some of the most recognizable voices in the world. He began his career as a commercial editor and producer at a top LA film advertising agency; it's there he cut his teeth and the proverbial audio tape, editing hundreds of award-winning audio trailers and radio spots. He then held the position of VO Booth Director for a prestigious bi-coastal theatrical talent agency directing voice actors, celebrities and comedians daily. From there he went on to commercial voice casting for an impressive variety of brands, from Apple to Nike and nearly everything in between. With Sound & Fury Casting, Mark's experienced ear was essential to identifying burgeoning voice talent and directing actors to deliver best-in-class performances.
