My Voice Experience

I'm currently a radio announcer in Northern Alberta and voice on average 5-8 ads/promos a week for our stations, and have been for the past year. Mainly straight read, but also accents/impressions. I also do live cut-ins on location on occasion. Before moving out here I did v/o for MTV Canada's launch in Toronto. I also did the narration for my college's (Mohawk in Hamilton, ON) media awards, and various other commercials for the college. I've been told I can pick up any voice if I hear it enough. I mainly do .mp3 format, but I can also do .wav or any other format that Adobe Audition will allow, that you're looking for!
Hope to hear from you!
