My Voice Experience

I could consider a few different jobs as giving me most of my vocal experience. I've been in the customer service field for ten years. As the label implies, it is a field that faces the consumer, bringing loads of contact through use of the voice.

It may be something that others don't think about, but call center work is voice work. That is the only thing a phone clerk has to face the world with while locked away in their tiny cubicles. It ensures hours upon hours of vocal training daily, and when coupled with a company's drive for success and quality, it is true work to keep that positive sound in your voice, though you may not be happy to hear the same story a million times. So many years in such a field would assure that an agent would be able to take on a voice job, right?

Well, not really. The vocal industry is a great deal different than the simple act of taking call after call. While the call center experience does indeed excercise the voice, it also does so on a basis of one on one contact, whereas voice work faces a much larger audience. That audience includes people of many different ideals, and while you can't please everybody all the time, a hiring company would have it in their best interest to find somebody who would be able to use their voice in order to please a large portion of that desired audience.

Through the years, I've produced, or been involved with, a large number of voice recordings. That's mainly the media I was working with, outside of simple writing. Characterizations came from voice-overs my own creations for a number of years, as well as getting involved with much smaller productions, including podcasting, with friends and family.

My Training

I have been in the customer service field for ten years taking an approximate load of 2500 calls from individual people per month. When those I know outside of work, along with the people I know at work, and almost every customer I spoke every day all either suggest I go into voice-overs, or ask if I'm a radio personality on the side, it was clear that another line of work had opened up for me as a radio voice. Many of the people I'd talk to on the phone went as far as offering me their contact numbers to get a new career going.

Unfortunately, with company policies, I could not follow those leads. This same story has been going on repeatedly over the past five years or so.

As a writer, a director, and producer, I was most often forced to voice my own work. Hey, it was for free, I couldn't expect anybody else to jump at the chance.

I was brought up in a family of singers. At a young age, I had already grown accustomed to the stresses placed on the vocal chords after a heavy period of singing and rehearsing. Growing up watching cartoons nonstop also got me into the groove of trying to replicate the voices I heard on the TV.

Throughout my life, the singing has endured. Early on, I got tired of the oldies my parents were shoving down my throat every day, as well as the modern sounds, which were often met with annoyance on my part. I grew to love opera and showtunes, much to my parents combined chagrin. Having a curriculum full of choir and chamber music classes during middle and high school helped with that as well, although it could have been the other way around. I was spending a great deal more time studying the opera I was listening to at home than I was the standard choir songs that were being conducted while at school. In both cases though, the voice was being worked, it was growing in strength, range, and tone. That practice has carried my voice forward to the current day.

Additional Skills

I am fascinated by, and am involved in, short animation projects, particularly on the production side. It was due to the production schedules that I learned voices are harder to come by than previously expected. As a producer, scheduling difficulties seemed to pop up with every scene that needed to be drawn, shot, voiced, keyed, and completed.
