Voice Description

My voice is very similar to the "You've Got Mail" voice on AOL - a lot of character to it, authoritative without sounding like a "know it all".

I sound my age, and am perfect for the "empty-nester" (48 - 60) so many clients are trying to reach. It has a nice comfortable feel , and it is extremely conversational --- terrific for high end clients like exclusive furniture outlets, Lexus, Cadillac, walk-throughs for condo or upscale home builders, etc.

For corporate clients - such as for instructional or detailed sales and marketing pieces - my voice is smooth and calming, a real plus when the information may get a bit intricate.

I am also able to create distinctive voice characterizations, from a grizzled prospector or scurvy pirate, to an elderly gentleman, to the not-so-bright, slightly punch-drunk "Louie da Louse" type of small-time hood. I once did the voice of a leprechaun for the Cedar Rapids, Iowa St. Patrick's Day festival. Not bad for someone 6'7" tall!

Standard American English is my mother tongue, and I am able to do Irish, French, German and a "Boris Badenov"-style Eastern European accents.

My Voice Experience

With 30 years in sales, marketing and retail sales, as well as 35 years (mostly in leadership roles) in public service, I have done countless speeches and presentations to conventions, Fortune 50 executives, public seminars that I both wrote and presented, sales and marketing CD's, small groups of consumers, trade shows, etc.

In addition, as a singer I have performed across the United States and in Europe, as well as some musical back-up in a radio ad long-since lost in time. I also have a background of performing in musicals and musical reviews. I must surely be the tallest Poo-Bah that Gilbert & Sullivan's operetta The Mikado has ever seen!

My Training

In addition to just being blessed with a wonderful instrument and having done decades of public presentations, I also have a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology. That sort of work frequently requires the ability to go from soothing, understanding and reassuring to firm and authoritative yet gentle.

No, I no longer do counseling. I've been in the business world for many, many years. But knowing when and how to say what is an extremely valuable tool.

Why not let me show you how my talents can serve your needs?

Additional Skills

My background is quite varied.

My interests in History and Science give me an excellent ability to clearly read and enunciate foreign words and names and highly technical terminology.

As a radio announcer (WVKC-FM, Galesburg, IL) I learned how to keep a flow of intelligent conversation going to my audience while "spinning up a disc". My favorite radio work was doing classical music shows.

Finally, I have written copy for numerous print and broacast ads, both for corporate clients and candidates. I also did the voice-over work for a number of those clients.
