My Voice Experience

I have a combined 20-year history (hobby and professional) of voice-overs, performing/producing radio spots and narrations, jingles, on hold messages, and character voices...

I currently work with Steve Cox Productions, located in Marshfield, WI. Commercial jingles include Greg Ellias Motors, and Pioneer Bank. I voiced an on-hold announcement for Marshfield Steel, and was voice-over for PC Doctors. I also was the voice of "Barney the Barn," mascot of the Central Wisconsin State Fair (2004-2007); all produced by Steve Cox.

I have produced and voiced radio station ID's and commercials for Glory 1330 AM, in Gainesville, GA. I have also produced news stop sets for WDUN AM 550, and have provided narrations for the Sara Hightower Library, located in Rome, GA (2 Christmas parades 1991).

My Training

I hold a 2-year degree in music performance, and have enjoyed singing and composing my own music.

My hobby has been audio production, and I produced and edited my own 30-second demo for Voice123.

My Studio Equipment

I use CUBASE LE and COOL EDIT PRO to record, edit, and master both my professional, and personal projects. Projects are mastered in CUBASE LE.

For musical compositions, I use a Yamaha PSR-640 synthesizer, on which to record simple songs or jingles.

My microphone is a Marshall MXL V67 condenser microphone, with Samson PS01 pop screen. For this, I utilize a Lexicon Omega Desktop 8x4x2 desktop studio interface.
