I had done voice over recordings for the government under the company name of Sonority Recordings. I did trainings film voiceovers for recruits, dealing with hygiene issues. This was done in the Rockville Maryland area. I did many narratives for local churches in the Salisbury Maryland area involving Christmas plays or celebrations. Additionally, I sang with the local choral society and the Baltimore Brass Quintet as the lead second Bass for a professional presentation of Handles Messiah at the Civic Center in Salisbury Maryland in 1986. I have worked at three different radio stations with different types of music for more than 11 years. These ranged from Country to easy listening to Gospel. During this time I did voice acting for local commercials to promote a product.I have spoken for many groups professionally,presenting products or informational overviews. I have 3 years of professional voice training at Salisbury University and while working at three different radio stations, I did news, commercials and their writings and interviews on live radio. I developed an all night crisis hotline as a counselor where I had to play music and at times speak with individuals who needed psychological counseling or emotional support. Similar to the Dr. Phil conversations. I participated in voice overs for a company called Sonority Recordings in the 70's for the government for recruitment training in Rockville, Maryland. I sang as the lead second base along with the Baltimore Brass Quintet in 1986 and sang with the Salisbury Choral society throughout my years at university. Many people make claims, stating they are able to adapt to many different situations, but I truly am able to fit into various types of setting and feeling comfortable doing it. This is a challenge that is always enjoyable. Whether speaking with youth or the elderly and anyone in between.I am well read with interests in politics,medical terminology,science, medicine, Martial arts. and local interests. I believe my maturity and confidence in who I am and what I am able to accomplish goes a long way. I also know when to defer to those who are in authority with respect and grace.
