My Voice Experience

I stumbled into voice over as a favour. We were working in studio cutting a reel, and needed a voice over. My boss heard my outgoing answering machine and loved it. So he asked me to do the voice over for the project. Prior to this, I was an On Air DJ for WERS 88.9FM (Boston), where I also did the voice over for promo's. Since then, I've been asked to do Voice Over by word of mouth. Since I keep getting request to do voice overs, well, I thought, maybe I should put myself out there. Who knows, right? Besides Voice Over Work, I work as a professional Singer/Songwriter. I hope I've piqued your interest enough to consider me for your project! I'd love to work with you = )
