      I remember meeting him in 2006 and was wearing a TOM shirt and he said "Only Toonami" and I went nuts. There actually is a promo for reruns of the Cell saga of DBZ where they forgot to add the effects to his voice so TOM just sounds like regular Steve

    He voiced Tank Dempsey, and you can hear it every time he talks... there’s almost no difference between his normal speaking voice and his Tank Dempsey voice... except, obviously, y’know... the yelling.

I decided to look him up just to see some of his stuff and this is the 1st video I saw and it was like the universe telling me that I should give this a try/take a risk thank you for the inspirational words Steve I've always loved your work and hopefully I can make it one day too.

I have close to 14 years combined experience in commercial radio broadcasting (highest market Miami, FL). I have spent the last three years researching, prepping and taking advantage of the free (and must admit some paid) coaching portals on-line, but have not yet produced my own demo reel. Not seeking personal counseling here, but obviously I have a procrastination / fear of failure / success issue. Appreciate you sharing your story. Commit to using it to "do something scary".
