My Voice Experience

As a busy Production Director I record and produce commercials daily for one of the nations largest broadcasting groups.

Every advertiser wants their commercial to sound just right and be effective. That's why each script I read and every commercial I produce is delivered with extra attention to detail. I push for the right voice inflection, mood, and energy whether I am self directing or directing the talent on my team. Our clients hear the difference and so does our audience.

It's a labor of love.

I invite you to listen to my production sampler and I welcome the opportunity to work for you.
