I began in voice over as a part actor for a promotional audio tool on CD. Since then, I have participated in live paid speaking events with audience sizes ranging from 200 to 5,000. These speaking events have been recorded live. I have also created 30 minute scripted audio promotion tools that were directed, recorded, and produced by me. I have experience with web site audio, phone messages, promotion, and I am fortunate enough to be doing voice over work full time now from my home studio.
