My Voice Experience

I started working in sound recording back in the early 1990's. From there I owned my own video business taping weddings, sports events, new stories and industrial videos. I regularly used my own voice to narrate when necessary.

In 1994 I spent a year working for local radio in Central New York State. I did a little on-air work for a morning "shock-jock" program but mostly worked producing audio bits for use on-air.

After moving to North Carolina to work in the film industry I began a hobby internet-based talk show. I was podcasting before podcasting got its name. From 2001 to the present, I have been honing my skills on the microphone.

I have directed many people with voice coaching and I am efficient at full production start to finish. I can write a script or even a campaign, design the sound scheme, record all voices and produce the finished piece.

My Training

Started recording before leaving high school, Commercial radio, Podcasting since 2001.
