Voice Description

My voice has a few different main styles and several variations of those. Voice styles include an upbeat, energetic, and "in your face" announcer type, a slightly less upbeat but still powerful variation, a deeper and more serious style, and a calm neutral style. I only speak English and my voice does not have any particular accent -- just American sounding.

My Voice Experience

While I am relatively new to doing voiceovers for profit, I have been involved in multimedia productions for over 10 years. In 1997 I founded my production organization which has operated three Internet radio stations, and over the years I have developed my voice styles by announcing frequently on those stations.

Since 2006 I have been recording voiceovers for various Internet radio shows and website projects, and in early 2009 -- armed with a newly upgraded studio -- I am ready to expand my offerings to include voiceover services for many more types of projects.

I have the professionalism and dedication to produce quality voiceovers to your satisfaction.

My Training

I am a self-taught DJ and announcer and have learned from experience.
