I don't have a whole lot of clients or experience using my voice in this manner. However, after a 25 year broadcasting career, I am more than capable of doing it. Last summer, I wrote and voiced the new employee video presentation for the Metropolitan District Commission of Hartford. That was my professional, "I'm not necessarily a black guy", voice!
Currently, I am a reporter for the CPTV program, ALL THINGS CONNECTICUT. I write and voice long forum pieces on high-tech, low-tech and no-tech hobbies with a similar voice as described above.
Years ago, I was the voice of a very hard sell ad for race track in the Panama City, Fl area, and it was still running every now and then as little as 3 years ago. You want sexy, I can do it. Warm smile..that's me any way! Excited? Yes! Give me a call!
1981: Graduated with BA in Broadcast Communications/Journalism from Columbia College Chicago, one of the nations' most respected schools in this area.
October 2008: Lead male role in Musical Theater production of "Blues in the Night" for New Britain, CT repertory theater. (Six shows)
July 2009-Present: Vocalist, SOUL SOUND REVUE cover band. Motown and other dance r&b music from the 60's, 70's and 80's..
1978-84: Sports phone, Chicago. Rapidly fired off scores from college and pro sports on a 60-second recorded message updated every 10-15 minutes. Many callers were surprised to learn I am black.
I have used my voice in a number of ways. How about for you?
I now have access to quality voice over recording in my home. (portable studio). If you like what you hear, give me a shot. You will not be disappointed.
I am over 50, but have a deep desire to continue learning and growing. No Prima Donna egos here! Just excited about doing the job the way you want it done! I am a polished professional broadcaster, who is willing to do something different if the client wants it that way. Voice over work is something I always thought about getting into, but at the time, we didn't have services like Voice 123...or if we did, I was unaware! Now I have a studio at home and I am rearing to go!
