Stephen began his voice career at an early age, always landing the leading roles in middle and high school musicals and plays. He received rave reviews as Lt. Cable in The Lawrenceville School\u2019s professional production of South Pacific<\/i>, and had the honor of singing with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of Eugene Ormandy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"uwpspain\"<\/a>At 20 Stephen left college to co-create Up With People<\/i> in its founding year. In addition to playing the drums, piano and bass for the show, Stephen was a conductor and musical director, and participated in numerous radio and TV interviews and presentations as he traveled the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephen\u2019s voice career was interrupted for three years by the U.S. Army, during which time he spent a year in Vietnam as a physician\u2019s assistant. It was lying on a bunk in southeast Asia where Stephen decided to enter politics, and as a result of his self-produced radio and TV spots, <\/b>Stephen was elected to the Arizona State Senate at the age of 28. (He would eventually run for the U.S. Senate in 1984 in South Carolina, logging over 200 radio and TV interviews in that one campaign alone; and although he didn’t win, he received countless voice-over offers.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1985 Stephen narrated and produced his first video \u2013 an exercise tape commissioned by one of the leading U.S. chiropractic technique consultants. That was quickly followed by an innovative video for a chiropractic computer software company which catapulted them to #1 in national sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Y2K approached, Stephen decided to use his expertise and experience in the video world to help out some friends who bred and sold buckskin horses. The result was a trend-setter in the industry, as most horses sold today are online via video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2004 Stephen wrote his first mainstream book and quickly realized that literary success was no longer solely dependent on the printed copy. The first audiobook he produced was experimental and more like a radio play, with an ensemble of twelve professional actors, each reading a half-dozen different characters for a suspense-packed John Grisham-type courtroom drama. You can listen to it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the publication of Wrongful Death: The AIDS Trial<\/em>, Stephen did dozens of radio interviews, a few of which you can listen to here<\/a>. In 2008 he also wrote, narrated, and produced a weekly podcast available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then he has written two more books himself (the latest receiving 100,000+ downloads as a eBook), and his latest project was turning one of those books into a 7-hour video workshop series that he wrote, narrated, and produced (which has been viewed 2 million times on YouTube. You can watch it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite all the skills Stephen has in writing, book editing, and video production, it is his voice that sets him apart from the rest. Different people have called it different things, like \u201csmooth,\u201d \u201cso easy to listen to,\u201d \u201cperfect for an audiobook,\u201d \u201cprofessorial,\u201d \u201cauthoritative without being arrogant,\u201d \u201cstrong and powerful,\u201d and \u201csoothing.\u201d In the 1980’s, Stephen produced a series of radio commercials for some chiropractic friends in Wyoming which made their practice an overnight success. Three years later he was back in Wyoming for a visit and happened to answer the phone in their office while they were at lunch. The caller on the other end paused and then said, “I know you. I recognize that voice from the radio ads a few years back….”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Stephen has done and will do various voices in a novel setting, he prefers to focus on non-fiction. You can listen to a few samples of his work here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
