My Voice Experience

My voice over experience is a wild and varied one. It first got started in an Ad Agency as an account executive. I did public service announcements for The Bahamas Electricity Corporation in 1990. My accounts also included Texaco Bahamas Ltd. After realizing I had skill, I was hired as Production Director for the first privately owned radio station in the Bahamas. I also filled in for news when the newsman was missing.

I did international agency work that aired in Barbados, Trindad, Jamacia and on-hold messaging for a company in Canada.

Speech writing was a part of my portfolio being a Graduate of The Nassau's Spokesmans Club. I wrote speeches for government executives as well.

There was a short stint at the Government operated TV station as a TV and radio Hard News and Sports reporter, which included "live" broadcast of local sports.
