Additional Skills

Most of my jobs require the absolute use of excellent

Speech and diction. The need to be heard/understood

by everyone the room, however big or small the room.

In my experience as a TV News Journalist - Vocal Volume

was not a must, but the ability to speak clearly, yes.

On Stage of course, clear speech/diction and volume,

even with mic's...a must.

eye to eye contact and the ability to grab the listners

attention with Body Language.
