My Voice Experience

25 Year Voice-over veteran and Creative Services Specialist.
As a Production Director and Creative Services Director for Broadcast Companies including: ClearChannel, Jacor, Blair, Sconnix, Media General and Genesis, I have voiced and successfully produced thousands of radio/tv commercials mostly in the state of Florida.
I have voiced industrial narration, video narration, instructional narration and character narration.
I have incredible work ethic and I love to make my clients stand out on the Radio or TV!

My Training

When I started in the radio industry in Tampa, I was able to spend lots of spare time in the production studio at one of Tampa's Top stations. Having been blessed with a great voice, good ear and good hands, I was fortunate to become a protege' of some of radio's best voices and producers who I will not mention here but would be glad to tell you in person. Let's just say several of these great talents are still the premiere voices/producers today. I spent 15 years as a talent, voice-over specialist, producer and creative services director before I was promoted to the Executive level of Broadcast Management.
Now, I have turned my career back to my roots and I'm doing what I love to do most...GREAT VOICE-OVERS, CREATIVE SPOTS! CREATIVE AUDIO/VIDEO AND GETTING RESULTS!
