What Kind Of Name Is 'Zippy' anyway? Who are in your mom's Top 10?
To answer all of your questions: I’ve been “Christopher” since birth, “Zippy” since 2nd grade, and my mom’s 11th favorite voice talent since 2015.
As for her Top 10, let’s just say that she doesn’t know the difference between 1985 Morgan Freeman and 2025 Morgan Freeman. ::sigh:: I’m working on it…
When it comes to voiceover, the Zippy recipe is equal parts:
The Sound
My voice is friendly, cool, intelligent, crisp, warm, and joyful. Think "millennial coworker who who never misses a deadline, but is cool enough to cover for his colleagues when they come into work just a wee bit hungover after having too much fun at the Dodgers game last night" sound.
The Service
When that deadline of ‘next week sometime’ gets switched to ‘yesterday no later than 0.005am,’ I’ve got your back. When the copy gets rewritten while I’m reading it, I’ve got your back!
Keeping Things Light
You know in “Titanic” when the band’s playing to keep everyone calm? Not only am I the band, but the song I’m playing is “Back That Thang Up” by Juvenile. No easy feat on the violin…
Chocolate Chip Cookies (No Nuts) & Maple Bars
What can I say? I like my snacks.
Plus a few dashes of my other creative experience: A BFA in Theatre from the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), graduating from Mi’s Westside Comedy Theater improv program (and performing in their flagship show, Mission Improvable, for two years), and a stint on WWE’s creative team.
…I already mentioned the cookies, right?
