"Mitch Amatrudo Voice, Music, and Sound" is a part-time endeavor for me. I am a full-time Firefighter in Connecticut. I began playing the drums and singing in bands in 1976. Along the way I picked up guitars and keyboards, worked on my vocals, and soon found that I could create full musical pieces entirely on my own. I was a music major at the University of Bridgeport, CT. I moved to Los Angeles in 1987 to pursue a music performance career. In the process I have logged a great deal of time in recording studios and performing on stage. Meanwhile, I always had a small studio set up in my residence, where I would record and produce my own material. After returning to Connecticut in 1995, I constructed a recording studio in my home, where I continue to compose and produce material strictly for my own enjoyment.

In 2003, a co-worker of mine on the Fire Department commented on how impressed he was with my speaking voice. He is a part-time web site designer and asked me to record a streaming audio voice-over for a site he was in the process of constructing. This is what gave me the idea to do voice-over work. Shortly thereafter, I attended a class at Manchester Community College taught by internationally known voice-over artist Peter Drew, and another program more recently which was presented by Connecticut Voice-Over artist Eric Michael Summerer. These programs instructed me in the basics of interpreting and delivering broadcast copy. I also realized however, that I could combine my voice talents with the ability to create musical compositions, and this is the concept that my business is based upon.

My technical talents as an engineer and producer grew from being able to squeeze out decent sounding demos from my original Casio keyboard, drum machine, and a 4-track reel-to-reel tape deck years ago, to operating the PC based digital sound processing equipment that I now own which makes this business possible. Exciting technological developments in recent years in the areas of home sound recording and telecommunications have also helped to make this vision a reality.

I invite you to surf my site. In addition to "Mitch Amatrudo Voice, Music and Sound", you will also find "Diamond Plate Productions", which is a similar endeavor but which caters to the Fire and Emergency Services. You will also find some personal content such as my "blog" , my garden pond, my '70 Duster 340 project, and some other things that I hope you find interesting or entertaining.
