My Voice Experience

40 years of voice work in radio and television. I have worked in commercial radio, commercial television, and public television as a producer, and have always done voice work along the way. While I still do some producing, I'm focusing my talents on giving clients voice overs that work. I have learned over 35 years how important customer service is to a client, so, if I do your voice work, you will be hiring someone with not only professional voice-over skills and production skills, but exceptional customer service skills.
Clients include:
UNC Center for Public Television
Treehouse Productions
Carolina Biological
All Pro Media
Emotive Video

My Training

BA-Radio,Television and Motion Pictures, UNC Chapel Hill. While at Chapel Hill, I had the opportunity to train and learn under some of the best oral interp and radio production specialists at the time.
I have worked with radio and television stations in North and South Carolina
Over 40 years of Voice Over Experience
including live announcing for broadcast, dramatic performance and live narration.
Learning is life-long...I learn every time I do a new project.

Additional Skills

Exceptional Customer Service! Quick Turnarounds!
Because I am a producer, I understand why you need voice overs done in certain ways. I listen to your needs, and professionally deliver the voice read YOU want, not the read I think you need. If you don't like what I do, I'll re-do it for free, until I get right for you.
Because I've been in radio and television production for years, and just simply love doing it, I understand what it means to give you clean, high quality audio files ready for you to use.
