My Voice Experience

A 20-year veteran of local and network radio, I made the transition into the voiceover world a few years ago. I've done gigs for some great clients including Billy Casper Golf, the Department of Energy, Goodwill Industries, WorldatWork, the Partnership for Public Service, and Suburban Hospital.

I wore a number of different hats during my broadcast career: network news anchor, live reporter, features reporter, morning show co-host, and disc jockey. In addition to my on-air work, I have vast experience recording spot news reports, feature stories, station ID's and promos. I recorded an annual series of holiday features, "Stocking Stuffers," that was used by stations around the country.

I have also served as a volunteer reader for the blind for the Metropolitan Washington Ear.

My Training

I got my VO training from Melissa Leebaert, an Emmy-winning voice talent and coach in the D.C. area.

I worked in radio for 20 years, most of that time at the network news level. I have extensive on-air experience and expertise in sound recording and editing. I know how to think on my feet and I know what it means to work hard. I don't miss deadlines. I also work as a writer, editor and proofreader; yes, that means I can help edit your copy!

I have worked as a disc jockey, morning sidekick, and news guy on various radio formats including Adult Contemporary, Oldies and Hot Hits.

I do public speaking and have experience as a public address announcer at sporting events.

I have a degree in psychology, and took several courses on acting, public speaking, communications, and writing.

My Studio Equipment

I have a Neumann TLM 103 microphone (also a Blue Baby Bottle mic), feeding into a Digidesign Mbox 2. I record on ProTools 8.0 on my Dell desktop and can feed audio files via highspeed Internet. My monitors are Yamaha HS 50M's and I use Sony MDR-7506 headphones. To cut down on ambient noise, I have positioned an sE Reflexion Filter around my mic. And I have everything plugged into a Monster Power Pro 2500 power center to protect against power surges and reduce interference. Bottom line: I can deliver crisp, clean audio tracks in a jiffy!

Additional Skills

Drawing upon my 20-year career as a broadcast journalist, I am also a public relations consultant. I specialize in writing, editing and proofreading. I know what it means to work independently, delivering quality products in a timely fashion. I know how to communicate with audiences large and small, young and old.
