My Voice Experience

As a teenager, adults would refer to me as "the voice". It took many years for that to register. Interestingly I would go on to take a 22 year journey in local television news before pursuing a freelance career in television, corporate video, voice over and live presentations. My experience ranges from live narration to corporate presentations, training, documentary and commercial. My client list includes The Home Depot, IBM, The U.S. Postal Service, Regions Bank and The Georgia Lottery. I would be happy to provide more information upon request.

My Training

A bachelors degree in communications/broadcast journalism from The Evergreen State College. 38 years of on camera and voice over experience from local television news and corporate and commercial work. I have studied voice over with Judith Sullivan and Maurice Tobias.

My Studio Equipment

I have access to a fully equipped professional grade recording studio with Prima ISDN, phone patch and FTP. The studio is equipped with a Soundcraft Audio Board and Neumann U-87 mike.

Additional Skills

Writing skills acquired during my years of broadcast news experience and corporate video work. I also speak frequently as a Master Gardener on gardening and landscaping topics.

Payment Methods Accepted

• Personal checks, cashier's checks, or money orders in my local currency
