Most recently, I've been voicing and producing VOs for pharmaceutical e-learning projects, specifically Sunovion, Sanofi-Aventis, and Sanofi-Canada, and delivering the individually produced voice files to be dropped into Captivate, a turn-key solution. I've also extendive experience providing sales, marketing, and user-conference VOs to the legal industry, including ADERANT, a global software firm serving law firms. My voice carreer began in 1988 with the first of three radio stations. Two were NPR-affiliates, and I hosted classical and jazz programming on one and morning news (Morning Edition local host) on the other. Production was a big part of all the media jobs, and my experience dates back to the reel-to-reel days. Experienve with performance dates back even further. A trumpet player since age 10, I was in the UGA Redcoat Marching Band while in college and played in community ensembles afterward. Rode NT1-A, AT 835b, and Apogee MiC microphones; hardware PreSonus TubePre preamp and Comp 16 compressor/limiter, Allen & Heath ZED 10FX mixer; Mogami cables; dual-drive iMac with dedicated solid state HD for audio capture. M1Active 530 studio monitors, Sony Professional Studio headphones, Auralex sound absorption. Pro Tools, TwistedWave, WavePad, and Audacity software. I voiced and produced a history podcast called Audio Escape Almanac, which is still available on iTunes.
