My Voice Experience

I am in my 31st year of doing broadcast voice work, mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area. I do morning drive news and/or traffic reporting on several radio stations for Total Traffic Networks,including KQED and KGO. I also record nationally distributed hourly newscasts for the MetroSource news wire. I have been a regular personality on more than 30 radio stations and did on-camera reporting for 15 years on ABC-7 in San Francisco.

My Voiceover clients have included Cisco Systems, Solar Reserve, Defining Entertainment, inc.,Isuzu Motors and Sears Point Raceway.

My Training

I have a degree in Psychology and a minor in journalism from the University of California at Berkeley, where I also got my start in radio at the campus stations, KALX, where I became News Director.

My voiceover training has included work with Taylor Korobow of The Voice Factory, Susan McCollom of VoiceMedia/Susan and Friends Casting and, most recently, Tom Chantler of Tom Chantler Voiceover and Voice One.

My Studio Equipment

I use a Sennheiser MKH 416 mic at my home studio, with an available Rode NTK. I use an ElectroVoice RE20 at my office studio.

I am powered by a Centrance MicPort Pro at home and a Dixon NM-250 mixer and Symetrix 528E Voice Processor at my office studio.

I edit with Goldwave at my office PC and Sound Studio on my Mac at home.
