My Voice Experience
Too many to list. Let's just say that the list includes on-air promotion in our specialty format of News/Talk and we have been "The Voice" of networks and local stations in major markets. Softer readings/books... dynamic hard and heavy "Don LaFontaine" type trailers... commercial work... it's all a part of what we've done.
My Training
Started learning while listening to the radio as a kid and then through school to college/university. ASU - BS, Radio & TV Broadcasting.
My Studio Equipment
Heart of my computer editing is Adobe Audition... which took the place of our original Cool Edit Pro. Otherwise it's Electro Voice Mic's... or MXL/V69 Mogami tube condenser... or whatever else we need from our microphone inventory that can fit just about any requirement. We run it through a Fast Track mic recording Interface and a Pre Sonus Tube PreAmp... then it all slides into the e-machine DeskTop computer where the Adobe software does the job. It's neat, simple and effective!
Additional Skills
We've done play by play... major market talk radio... interviewed Presidents in the Oval Office and business leaders in studios and offices. In addition, we've done interviews that have been edited for commercial use.
Our real specialty though is in the studio where we create the mood and feel which is needed at that precise moment. As long as the writer/producer/director knows exactly what they're looking for... we've never had a problem reaching the necessary style and emotional level.
We try not to make this any more difficult than it need be.
