My Voice Experience

Most of my voice over experience comes from TV News reporting and anchoring on a daily basis. The variations in voice and tone come with the variations of each story dictating the delivery.

I have hosted news magazine shows and documentaries.

I have also voiced promotions and commercials for a local sports talk radio station in Orlando.
