Voice Description

Having been a professional broadcaster for a total of 25 years, I've developed several different delivery styles. The versatility lends itself to upbeat and young sounding, to a deep, almost menacing style.

Fast, slow, loud, mellow, sexy and conversational as well as a smooth style for presentations and narrations.

Personally, I don't consider myself too good to a simple answering machine tape and you can expect the same type of care and effort in that as you would for a major project. The whole point, is that if it's important to you, then you can expect it to be as equally important to me.

And for multiple voice narrations, spots, productions, I have access to additional talents if needed. Don't think you're limited to just one voice or one delivery style.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I prefer not to do dialects. Not really good at them, anyway. Really prefer to do just straight copy.

My Voice Experience

As I previously mentioned, I've worked as a professional broadcaster for several years. During that time, it's almost all been FM radio, from country to classic rock (my personal preference), and television production, on-air, voiceover and narration.

I've done heavy production work with a ton of sound effects to just straight voice deliveries, but one of the things that's important to me is communications with the client. The more specific the information I'm given, the better their end product will be.

My Training

Experience is my training. Having been in the broadcast business working in radio and television, I've had to learn the techniques necessary to produce a good product. Fortunately, I've also had the privilege of working with some of the best in the business and their influence carries on through to today.

The "other advantage" is that I'm from the midwest. Close to Chicago, the broadcast influence has been critical to my career development. It's also one of the reasons that midwest voice talent is sought after. In essence, we're considered to be `accent-less' in our delivery styles.

My Studio Equipment

"Completing this area will show voice seekers how knowledgeable about audio engineering you are."

Having been a radio and television broadcast engineer for 25 years, I'd say I'm quite knowledgeable about audio engineering.

I'm also a perfectionist when it comes to levels and mix down levels. Been doing this way too long to produce audio that isn't clean and technically correct whether mixed from a mixer to digital or digital to digital.

At my disposal, I have a broadcast studio console which is constantly maintained at peak performance, plus several computers, CD players, reel to reel tape and cassette decks (yes, some still use tape, although I wonder why) and even a couple of the old fashioned broadcast "cart machines".

Add some audio distribution equipment, processing and compression and the studio becomes very adept at audio production.

Additional Skills

One of my additional skills, is that I'm also an experienced broadcast engineer. While others may be trying to figure out how to do something, I've usually got it done. Knowing how the electronics work also gives me an advantage in getting the most from it.

I currently have a full broadcast production studio, which includes a broadcast studio mixer, turntables, cart machines, CD players, cassette decks, reel to reel and computer systems and some sound processing equipment all tied in, ready and able to go to work.

DSL internet connection is available as well for the sending/receiving of files via FTP, email, etc.
