My voiceover carrer began with a phone call to the then #1 fm station in Kenya. I asked the on air dj at the time what I needed to do to take his job. He laughed and and said if I was as determined as I sounded I needed to get some training first. I wasted no time. I joined a media production college and graduated in 8 months. Two days later I auditioned for my first voice over job and in one week I received my first job offer. The station appreciated the quality of my voice and articulation of my speech enough to give me my own show to produce and host.
