My Voice Experience

To date I've booked a few voice overs but not as much as I'd like to which is why I'm here and your reading this.:-)

I do however have many jingles under my belt! Since I sing mostly all my jingles I have been requested to try some voice overs since different clients liked the sound of my voice. Suffice to say none of my VOICE overs went final..almost tho'...but no cigar. Hence..me speaking to YOU here on Voice 1-2-3 :-) That being said here are a few:

*History Channel (special event comm)
*Kool Aid
*Budweiser

Here are a few of my Singing comm's:

**Charmin Ultra (final)-airing now
**Sears (final)
**Mercedes Benz (final)

So...I'm totally looking fwd to hearing from you..til then
stay creative and Blessed!!
