skipping while reading voice over copy for television promo voice over or radio imaging, or radio announcer voice over...but always skipping. Being a young adult hip voice over announcer guy.

Photography and scuba diving are hobbies, but mainly I just like being the announcer or "voice of" for major corporations. Voice-over is fun!
