About Mike Kaminski (aka Mike Clive)

Mike Kaminski, aka Michael Clive was born in Berkeley California and grew up in Nebraska. He is most known for his realistic character voices and celebrity imitations. In school, Mike was undeniably a class clown. He loved to make people laugh and was very fond of voice work; learning and imitating many of his teachers, friends and celebrities. He also enjoyed learning different announcer styles and creating his own characters.

In 1987, while working at the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, Mike started performing stand-up comedy at "Stanford's Comedy Club". Incorporating his voices in the acts, he was an easy crowd pleaser. Soon after, he was asked to move to Florida with one of his friends who convinced him that it would be the next Hollywood. Mike made the move and enjoyed success at Florida comedy clubs.

 

Later, Mike moved into Talk Radio and Voice Over work. He started a parody service for the radio industry called Parody Central around the time of the OJ Simpson court case. Mike was imitating the whole cast from Marcia Clark to Judge Ito. Morning shows were contacting him to do custom phone-ins as celebrities and odd characters. He continued producing parodies for a few years, then went into a more focused career as a Voice Over talent for commercials and other media while doing fill-in work as a talk radio host at 970 WFLA, Tampa. In the late 90's Mike was offered a prime radio DJ time slot in Dallas, Texas. A year later, after experiencing the DJ life, he left the station and went back to Florida to continue what he knew best...Voice Overs. He marketed himself to radio and TV stations as a Specialty Voice Talent. Stations use him for character and celebrity additions to station programing production. He also works with advertising agencies, production studios and animators world-wide as a voice artist, actor, writer, consultant, and punch-up.
