Additional Skills

I have recorded Radio and TV commercials for clients in Germany.

To date I have been exclusively employed by clients associated with Ireland and/or Irish products who specifically required an Irish voice speaking German, and don't sound particularly like a 'native' German speaker.

All recordings were carried out via ISDN with German producers.

I would not be too confident about recording overly Technical scripts in German.
