Voice Description

Yes, warm and deep for narrations when needed, but I prefer the personable, one-to-one approach which will theoretically and hopefully make the listeners feel that he or she is the only one to whom I am speaking. When it comes to radio or television commercials, I feel that authority and energy is needed along with definite inflections (highs and lows) in order to translate a message to the listener/viewer and not leave them feeling that they have just heard a stereotypical announcer. I like to think of this as injecting an appropriate amount of believable drama into the voice message.

My Voice Experience

I have hosted live morning breakfast-type television shows, done live tv and radio commercials, been called upon for slide and video presentation narration, etc.

Since I host and produce a syndicated weekend radio program, I am called on quite often to creat and/or voice copy for a sponsor. Some of these sponsors who come mind include, Blockbuster Video, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and Restaraunts, the Great Smoky Mountains, Whitfield Foods, R C Cola and Dish Network.

My Training

While I double majored in journalism and drama in college (as well as taking a number of courses in creative writing and speech), I gained my actual voice training in local on-air radio as well as local stage plays. When I went into radio, the most fascinating area I found was the talk radio format. I believe it was there that I learned how to deliver points in a commercial message as well as developing interview techniques to get guests talking.

Additional Skills

As an independent businessman, I own and run my own advertising agency and consulting firm. I write, create, produce and direct television commercials as well as doing occasional on-camera talent and voice work.

Before I began work in the agency business, I worked in production and sales in television and radio and, to a lesser degree in print and outdoor. I am familiar with the entire sales, creative and development process with regards to electronic media and marketing.
