Voice Description

Well, honestly I'm not quite sure how to describe my voice, especially since I'm new at this. Interviewing the people closest to me I'm told that my voice is warm, smooth and fun and fairly deep with a smattering of sexy.

I'm also confident in my ability to do serious or angry and sarcastic tones.

My Voice Experience

I have a lot of experience speaking, in fact I've spent most of my life doing it. As for true voice talent or voice over experience I am a novice. I've spent the last 4 years doing on and off radio. I was a DJ at Brooklyn College Radio and WKRB 90.3 AM in New York. I also spent time doing newscasts at WKRB. Finally, I wrote, produced,directed , edited, and voice acted in a 60 second radio spot I created for a hobby store.

My Training

I have an A.S. in Broadcast Management and Technology. Included in that is a Voice and Articulation class (A+ Grade), College Radio experience announcing, newscasting and deejaying, and announcing in a 60 second radio spot of my own creation.

My Studio Equipment

I have Audacity and can download and learn to use nearly any program nessassary. I have experience with Pro-Tools and AVID.

Additional Skills

As part of my college education I received rudimentary training in Pro-Tools and AVID. I've also spent time editing sound with an open source program called Audacity.
