Voice Description

I have more than 30 years experience and have recorded a wide variety of scripts. These include radio and television commercials, corporate audio and video projects, medical scripts, and documentaries. I also write and record commentaries for a national broadcast carried on several hundred stations across the country. I can, of course, handle straight narration, and can do several accents and characters. Please take a couple of minutes to review my demo.

My Voice Experience

As mentioned above, I have been doing voice work for more than thirty years. That sounds like I'm really old, but I started when I was two (just kidding!). I am currently employed in the broadcast industry, so I'm around a microphone every day. It's something I love to do, and I look forward to working for you. I prefer to use very little processing in the audio chain, and primarily use an E/V RE-20.

My clients have included Hallmark Cards, Sprint, Jiffy Lube, Universal Underwriters, Yellow Freight, Saint Lukes Health System, Agri-Labs, and many others. I have done commercials for broadcast, underwriting announcements, public service announcements, corporate video, standard narration, documentaries, message-on-hold, voice mail prompts, accents (British, Austrian-Hans & Frans, German-Sergeant Schultz, French, mafioso, etc.), interviews and of course, live radio!

My Training

My degree is in communications with an emphasis in performance and production. I started working live on the air in my first year of college, worked in radio for about five years, have done voice work since that time, and for the last seven years, have been back in the broadcast industry. In the early days, I had a great voice coach who scrutinized my air checks. Even though I've been doing this for a long time, I'm always seeking to learn new ways to improve my craft. I've also been a producer, sitting on the other side of the microphone, so I can think the way you do. I'm not happy until you are!!

My Studio Equipment

Shure KSM-32 Microphone
Symmetrix 528E voice processor
SAW Pro recording/editing software
Mogami Cables
Echo MIA balanced in/out PCI audio card
DSL broadband connection
FTP site for client file access or via e-mail
MP3 or PCM files at various bit rates available

Additional Skills

I mentioned above that I've done a wide variety of projects. I'd like to mention that I was in the pharmaceutical industry for 13 years and did a lot of technical/medical scripts during those years. I like tongue-twisting terminology, so if you have something like that, let me give it a try. That means I'm not intimidated by big words or terms. I'm not opposed to simpler scripts either!
