My Voice Experience

i have recently been laid-off from a career in the retail industry, throughout which my voice-talent had been utilized for audiobooks, public-address [live and pre-recorded], phone-trees, public-readings [child and adult], event emcee, etc.

this experience, coupled with a passion for creating art through video- and audio-production, has led me to a exciting career in the voiceover industry

my primary advantage over many competing voice-talents is that i own/operate a no-budget recording studio for "starving artists", so in-house i have the equipment and talent necessary to complete and submit final-product aiff files mastered to industry standards [or converted/compressed for online/digital use] ... i have a strong consumer background with voiceover for animation and voiceover for audiobooks, that is to say, years worth "researching" the results of voiceover work from across the industry [i'm looking at you, anime over-dubbers!]

throughout my life, especially in the customer-service industry context, i have been told "you have a great voice, you should be on the radio" ... i blush and thank and mumble that i would not know how to breaking in to that kind of industry ... i then explain that if they like me, they should hear my dad

after a lifetime of random strangers suggesting i use my voice for a greater purpose, i decided to put this gift to work ... so, uh, thanks, dad
