For over 25 years I have worked in west coast radio markets (San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles) as a Creative Director, Copy Writer, Voice Talent and Air Personality. I have written, recorded and produced thousands of commercials for broadcast on radio, TV and Internet mostly in the United States and around the world. I am currently Creative Director for 4 radio stations in Santa Barbara California and do voice overs and production for Kelly Bridges Productions www.kellybridges.com. I majored in Broadcasting Arts and Mass Communications in college. My training started by working as an intern at San Francisco radio stations in the early 80's. I worked with major market talent and teachers from broadcasting schools around the bay area. Since then, I've been a traffic reporter, news anchor, air personality, voice over announcer, national imaging voice over talent, broadcast school teacher and head of several radio station creative departments. I've worked in just about every format. I have been nominated for over 35 Soundie awards for my voice and production. In 2001 I won 2 awards for my commercial writing which was published in a book on creative writing techniques by New York Times best selling marketing book Author Roy H. Williams (The Wizard Of Ads). I have 2 production studios on the central coast of California. I use Pro Tools for digital editing in both of my studios and operate most multi-track boards. I also use Adobe Audition on PC. I can send links of longer sessions via e-mail as well as most audio file formats. Most clients and account executives say I'm very easy to work with and I often make their commercial ads sound better than they could have imagined. My experience makes it easy for me to see possible ways to perfect most projects.
