My Voice Experience

As a copywriter, creative director and broadcast producer for the past 30 yrs, I have conceived, written, cast and produced hundreds of tv/radio spots, and directed the talent.

In those years, I have performed as a voiceover for many many clients, with great success.

Additional Skills

I am extremely direct-able, thanks in part to my 30 yrs experience as an advertising, Copywriter, Creative Director and Broadcast Producer. Having directed both voiceover and on-camera talent in hundreds of commercials makes me particularly attuned to understanding what a director wants. I consistently deliver.

My career has afforded me the opportunity to work with some of the most talented producers, directors, actors and technicians in the business. I learn something new and grow professionally at each and every shoot and session.
