My Voice Experience

My voiceover career started over 16 years ago with my first broadcasting job at a local radio station. Recording commercials, promos, public service announcements and other programming provided me the opportunity to develop my voice. I continued with radio broadcasting and production through high school and in college while earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communication – Broadcasting, from Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota.

Although not directly involved in the industry for sometime, I have held positions which have provided voiceover experience recording commercials for my employers and being the voice for company voice mail systems.
