Voice Description

My voice is a warm, rich baritone that can be used to convey Authority or softened up to be your Favorite Uncle. I also have experience in doing "Character Voices". They range from a "Christmas Elf", Tough Texas Sheriff, Friendly “Wizard” and Inanimate Objects. By Inanimate Objects, I have made toothbrushes, Golf balls, survey forms, etc. “Talk”.

My Voice Experience

I am a former Military Broadcaster. I worked for the Armed Forces Radio and Television Network for six years and The Aerospace Audio Visual Squadron “Combat Camera” for two years. My training was conducted at the Defense Information School, Basic Broadcaster Course. My duties took me all over the world. My first base was in Turkey where I honed my skills as a broadcaster doing DJ, spot production and hourly news. My next assignment took me to Frankfurt Germany and The American Forces Network, Headquarters (AFN HQ). There I was part of the Award winning Radio Command Information section. During my three years there I was a member of the team that won 1st place for a Special Radio series, and I was also recognized as a “Significant Contributor” for the top Military Broadcasting Award for Radio Spot production, the Thomas Jefferson Award. My third stop took me back to the States and Tinker AFB, Oklahoma City, OK. There I was part of the Aerospace Audiovisual Squadron. My primary duty was to narrate the various training and informational videos the squadron produced. There I was the narrator on a “Best Of The Quarter” production on poisonous snake identification called, "Am I Poisonous?”. My final duty station took me to Kunsan South Korea, where I was the Radio Station Manager for the local AFKN Affiliate. There I was not only On-Air DJ, but did several, “On Camera” television news reports.
