Several years ago, I was approached in a grocery store by someone who worked in the agency world after she overheard me in the checkout line. She asked me if I was in the voiceover business. I told her no but said that I've been asked that same question many..many..many times. We exchanged contact information and I forgot all about the exchange until I was contacted two months later by her colleague asking me to audition for the new voice of Tony the Tiger. It was an amazing experience that that convinced me that maybe I should take this a bit more serious. I'm a health care executive that has spent 11 years at NorthShore University HealthSystem in Chicago and most recently joined Sharecare. Sharecare was founded by Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Oz and Jeff Arnold (founder of WebMD) to bring answers of health that patients have to local physicians. ** Bosco Productions in Chicago - The Voice Over Business workshop ** Big Shoulders in Chicago - Voice Over Classes on breathing, annunciation, improv and character building MAC Mini and MACBook Pro Avid MBOX 3 Mini with Pro Tools 9 Shure SM7B mic TLM103 Sony MDR 7506 headset Sounds boards from Foamfactory.com Shuttle Pro for quick editing Atlas stand with pop-screen Senior level executive in marketing who understands the importance of brand awareness and the messages representing the brand NCAA Division I athlete who is dedicated and committed to finishing any project on-time and on budget
