I am known for my confident, conversational tone that is well suited for a variety of projects. I have worked with companies like McCormick, Advil, Stanley Black & Decker, Zebra Technologies, Leesa Mattresses, and many more on a variety of projects from commercials to e-learning to audiobooks. I look forward to hearing about your project! I have received a BA in English and Theater from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities and an MA in Classical Acting from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. Through these schools, I received extensive voice training from some of the best voice teachers in the world. I have also taken courses with The School of Acting and Voiceover in St. Louis Park, Minnesota where I learned many different techniques to deliver expressive, clear VoiceOver work. I am well equipped with an acoustically treated home recording studio to meet all your VoiceOver needs. I am comfortable working with Audacity and Adobe Audition and can work with quick turnaround times.

I may be a top-rated plus Comedy Writer and copywriter with 15+ years of experience, but still, my greatest achievement was winning an argument with my wife one time. Hey. I'm Adrian. I write content that sells. Content that addresses pain points and converts. Content that will get your target audience to laugh. Because humor, when done right, connects and drives results. Notable clients include: General Electric, BBDO NY, Procter & Gamble, Love Island/ITV Studios, Gala Games, Eaton Corporation, Funko Inc., LesserEvil, PeaTos, and so much more. As a COMEDY WRITER (and recovering stand-up comedian), I'll write or punch up your material so that it's dangerously funny. Screenplays, animated series, episodic series, sketches, stand-up, roasts, video game scripts, comics, plays, and more. As a COPYWRITER, I write unique, pinpoint-accurate, and hilarious copy for B2B, B2C, SaaS, fintech, direct response copywriting, email marketing, commercials, corporate videos, VSLs, explainer videos, social media, websites, blogs, slogans, and more. As a SPEECHWRITER, I've written drop-dead funny content for TED talks, TEDx talks, keynotes, fundraisers, weddings, corporate, eulogies, sales summits, motivational, and more. As an AI FILMMAKER, using Google Labs Veo 3, I'm a dual-threat copywriter and AI-video generation specialist, who can concept, write, and fully produce your video end-to-end. I've even created funny content for CPA's, dental hygienists, and data analysts. (They say it couldn't be done.) Comedy Training: Upright Citizens Brigade, Peoples Improv Theater, NY Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, NY Film Academy, Chicago City Limits, The Actor's Project NYC. My expertise is writing and producing humor that sells. And I would love to work with you. You've read this far, so why not holler at me, shoot me a message, or invite me to your project? Let's do this.
