Voice Description

As a voiceover professional, I have honed my abilities for a wide range of purposes. From corporate training to character-based commercials, I can make my voice fit the setting. My voice has a rich tone that lends itself to a learning situation where a training presentation requires a voice to capture and lead trainees from point a to point b. If the copy calls for characters in a situation, I can distinguish my voice so that it best suits the character, tone and the setting. While my voice is generally accent free, I can embellish a northern european accent as needed. As a veteran of live radio theater and call-in programming, I can provide a diverse skill set suitable to your audio production needs.

My Voice Experience

I have a wide range of commercial and non-commercial experiences which have greatly influenced my voiceover work. For ten years I produced and hosted a live local radio call-in program which featured original comedy, news and sports vignettes. In this venue the atmosphere was demanding, with the need for diverse characterizations as well as hosting, writing and production duties.

For eight years I wrote and produced local radio commercials for a variety of clients. These commercials were structured in either single straight reads or two-person situational reads.

In addition to the above, I have also been working as a consulting educational presenter. I have given workshops and presentations for the New England League of Middle Schools, the North American Family Institute, Lakeview Neurological Rehabilitation and the New Hampshire Department of Emergency Management.
My work in local radio copywriting and production resulted in my winning the RAB Award-Orson Welles Award for Radio Creativity.
