My Voice Experience

At the age of six, I was told by my peers that I sounded like a boy becuase my voice was somewhat deep. In junior high, I read the daily announcements over the intercom at school, and the students thougth I was a boy at first. I was even compared to Whoopi Goldberg at the time.

My first experience with a voice over was in high school when I was one of several students selected to read for a local anti-drug public service announcement, which was probably around 1991. I also was a customer service representative from 1997 to 2002, which required me to have a pleasant voice, and one time a customer asked me to do a recording for his voicemail because he liked my voice.

I signed up to be a volunteer for a radio reading service for the visually impaired, and I have done one newspaper recording so far. I currently read Scriptures during sermons four times a month for my church, and I have been doing that since December 2007. The sermons are available for sale on CD, and they will also air on broadcast television later this year. This month, I am doing narration for a local play.

My Training

I have a BS in mathematics with a computer science emphasis, and I have also taken graduate courses in computer information systems and business administration, but I have no formal training in voice overs. However, I have practiced on my own and am willing to showcase my abilities.
