My Voice Experience

My main experience with recording has been with making music in my studio.I have to use different voices when recording certain songs depending on the nature of the song. I've practiced different voices for comedy purposes as well.

My Training

My musical training helps me to perform different voices. I also have five years of public speaking training at my church, which have taught me voice range. I also have four years experience with speaking in front of an audience of a hundred or more people.

My Studio Equipment

I have a 48 track virtual home studio with voice variation capabilities. All the capabilities are visiable on my computer screen. Vocals can be adjusted to the right level, and bass can be added or taken away for effect.
I can save my work to a file, which then be uploaded or emailed anywhere. I can create any type of music needed to go along with the different variation of voice options. It is a high quality, professional, virtual home studio used for voice overs as well as music.
I have almost twenty two years of experience with audio engineering.

Additional Skills

I also write children's books, and have a book currently in the process of being considered for publication. I use to write, record and perform music for many years starting when I was nineteen years old. Doing voice over work is another way for me to utilize my skills and talents.
