Voice Description

Whether you're looking for straightforward, bright, quirky, hard or soft sell - I can give it to you. I can sound like a smooth-talking announcer, or your nasally-challenged neighbor Bev (you know, the one who always stops to chat right when you have something more important to do). Give me a try!

My Voice Experience

My voice experience starts with an elementary school and a stage...and pretty much keeps going from there. I've been involved with theater, choir and pit band-based music (I play flute and bass) off and on since I was eight. I have plenty of pro experience as both an on-air and voice-over announcer, but my main gig for the past six years has been producing all of those voice-overs into commercials. I can give you the whole package!

My Training

Graduate - Fanshawe College, London, Ontario. Two years in the Radio Broadcasting program studying specialized courses in production, copy writing and voice work/on-air presence, among the many other tasks required to work at a commercial radio station.

Graduate - Sudbury Secondary School, Sudbury, Ontario. Five years spent studying specialized courses in drama, music, fine arts and choral singing.

My Studio Equipment

Work studio available with Rode NT2 or Electrovox mics, as well as a Yamaha O2R mixer and Pro Tools.

Home studio available with Adobe Audition 3.0, a Behringer Xenyx 802 board and Rode NT2-A microphone.

Additional Skills

I can provide a quick turnaround and have access to a studio at all hours. Voicework can get shipped back to you pretty quickly, and produced commercials won't take much longer as long as all of the details are available. Not only that, but if you require certain parts of your script to be read in French, I can oblige (regional pronunciation guides welcome).
