My Voice Experience

Over 20 years of experience in radio, television, and voice over.

In the early 80's I received professional singing voice lessons, and took my talent to the airwaves. I started by acting and producing videos for Central Bank and Church of the Highlands, and that led to me producing and narrating radio programs. To date, I've produced over 3,000 radio programs. Over the past 20 years, I've done work for Oracle, Central Bank, Church of the Highlands, Highlands Christian Schools, Sine Ministries, the Messiah Story, and many others.

Additional Skills

I am passionate about my work, and pour quality and experience into each project no matter how great or how small it is. The right voice, the right music, even the right microphone can make or break a project. To ensure that I can deliver a winner each time, I enjoy singing on a daily basis, as well as exercising my vocal cords to keep them in top shape.

In addition that, I'm a one stop shop with over 20 years of professional audio, broadcast, and television production experience. I record, mix, edit, produce, post-production, and deliver.
