My Voice Experience

1976-1993: on-air talent and voice-over announcer for various Midwestern radio stations, including Production Director at KGGO Des Moines, IA. During this time I developed and perfected an assortment of "Characters" that were used in radio commercials and radio programs.
Voice Talent for Triad Studios, Des Moines, IA
Book Narrator for the Nebraska Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped.
Narrator for long form videos and slide presentations.
I am currently working for the local ABC Television affiliate, and have been involved with TV commercial production for over 5 years.

My Training

As a Graduate of Brown Institute, Minneapolis, MN I learned the basics of on-air voice presentation for Radio & Television. My studies there included copywriting, audio mixing and production.
I majored in Music for Guitar Performance at the Univeristy of Minnesota, Minneapolis. I continue to teach guitar and perform as a guitarist.

My Studio Equipment

My in-home studio consists of a Shure KSM27 Cardioid Condenser Microphone, Edirol UA-4FX USB Audio Capture Device, Custom built PC with Cakewalk and Audacity software.

Additional Skills

Having started my career as an on-air voice talent, I eventually became enthralled with the entire process of working with clients to develop and implement effective advertising campaigns. I decided to begin a new chapter in my life as a radio account executive and later sales manager. Currently a Television Account Executive, I understand very well the importance of making sure the voice-over is the BEST it can be, the necessity of timeliness and the importance of accuracy. These are all qualities that you will appreciate when you hire me for your voice-over project.
