My Training

I produce flash videos in which I do all of the scripting, narrations and visuals. This keeps me busy with B2B voice-overs for tutorials, marketing and sales pieces,audio white papers and training videos.

My career for the last twenty some years has been in B2B marketing, giving me a thorough understanding and ability to deliver persuasive content and express the content appropriately. This is particularly advantageous to clients that need to promote complex services, in that the conversational style and succinct scripting shorten the prospects' learning curve and thus the clients' sales cycle.

My Studio Equipment

I record in my own studio, with a high-end Platronics headset and editing software.
