My Voice Experience
Over 20 years in radio in Los Angeles, first with rock and roll, then with talk radio. I have written, produced, directed and voiced hundreds of commercials over the years both for radio and TV. KLOS, KMET and KABC were the 3 most often heard on. I worked for a time as an instructor for National Broadcasting Services, training new broadcasters for radio. I have been heard on "on-hold" telephone systems both in LA and here in Oregon. Volunteered my time at a local public radio station for 8 years, on air that entire time. Through the station (KRVM 91.9FM) I also was MC for our local county fair main stage, MC for local art/wine show, MC for main stage for our local party called the "Eugene Celebration" and MC for major acts at local venues. @ years spent as road manager/stage announcer for the blues band, "Canned Heat" for both US and European tours in 91 and 92.
