My Voice Experience

I have been actively invovled in small market radio for more than 20 years and produced numerous commercials for on-air use and was both a morning and drive time DJ for radio. As a performer, I have used various characterizations to convey a story or anecdote for public speaking engagements and been a part of local theater productions.

My Training

I have spent the past 5 years completing a degree in vocal performance and sang in various languages as a part of my senior recital (French, German, English, Italian, Latin). In addition, I have taken several other classes at Averett University to hone my skills (Commercial Script writing and production, Oral interpretation).
