As a Bell Telephone operator for over ten years, I spoke with the public on a daily basis, and was chosen to voice over a public broadcasting documentary on telephone operators because of the clarity of my voice.
Twenty years ago, I recorded military training material for airmen at Scott Air Force base, due to my soothing and professional voice.
Currently I perform in puppet plays at my church using a variety of voices for different characters.
As an university employee, I have been allowed to audit a few voice over classes.
I have been the Director of Christian Education at my church for over twenty-five years. Some of my duties in this position include training adults, teens and small children, giving presentations to the congregation, and emceeing special occasions (ex: talents shows, puppet presentations, trivia night questions, etc...).
