My Voice Experience

Due to my distinctive voice, I easily entered into the broadcasting industy in 1988 as an on-air personality where I created and produced several commercials, jingles, and public service announcements at WESM 91.3 in Princess Anne, Maryland. Subsequently, I worked as a broadcaster in Portland, Michigan, and also in Texas. In 1993, I joined the military as a broadcaster and narrated thousands of commercials, jingles, newscasts, promos, etc. In 1997, I got out of the broadcasting industry but continued working as a voice-over talent. In San Antonio, I narrated a cable show that showcased apartments in the area, I continued working as an anchor for Air Force Radio and Television News, and voiced many television commercials. In 1998, I moved back to Portland and joined a talent agency where I performed many voice-overs and acted in television commericals and industrials. In 2000, I started working as a Smooth Jazz On-Air Personality and I created and produced many commercials. The station also used my voice for it's television commericals and station jingles. In 2003, I went back to law school, but I still do voice-over work on my off-time.
