Voice Description

There are a couple of styles that I use for voice over projects. One is a smooth and clear style which is great for presentations, narrations and informational pieces. Another is a deeper, slightly rougher angle which can be used for station IDs & sweepers. I also can apply a conversational inflection which brings life to commercial scripts.

My Voice Experience

My experience in radio (WNKI, WPGI, WDKC, WAVT, WNTE, WAZL/WNAK) and television (WETM, Manfield University Campus TV) production has provided many opportunities for commercial voice-overs as well as live announcing. While at WETM, I also produced several vignettes for the local Children's Miracle Network fund drives.

I have also been working free-lance from my home studio and been contracted for work accross the country for broadcast stations as well as internet radio and podcasts. I have also done work for local non-profit organizations such as an informational DVD which was sent to Richard Simmons to promote the "Slim Gyms" - a group of special individuals who work out to Simmons' videos.

My aforementioned experiences have also contributed to my graphic design & video editing skills.

My Training

My formal training includes a Bachelor of Science from Mansfield University of PA in Mass Communication with an emphasis on Broadcasting. The degree program also included coursework in Public Relations, Journalism and Persuasion. I have been trained in voice and articulation through the degree program.

While at Mansfield, I originally attended as a Biology Education major. During that time, I joined the campus radio station and became News Director. In this role, I was responsible for scheduling students for the reading of news live on-air as well as producing and voicing newscasts personally. Often, the audio production students would refer to me for tutoring in editing techniques and voice coaching. I eventually became a Mass Communication major and put the skills I obtained to use. Shortly after, I was employed at an area radio station (WPGI) which launched my professional career while still attending college.

Since, I have kept active in voice overs by setting up my own studio and doing free-lance work.

I grew up in a very musical family and school district and participated in high school chorus and band as a percussionist. I later marched with the Mansfield University band for my freshman year. Today I apply my understanding of music when creating unique sounders for stations as well as an occasional jingle. I enjoy playing my drum kit as often as possible.

Additional Skills

Upon relocating to a different town in Pennsylvania, I was employed for a stint at Radio Shack. Prior to that I was a newscast director at WETM. The transition was very beneficial to my understanding of the customer service world. The experience was humbling to say the least. Now, I have the skills necessary to ask the right questions with tact and problem-solving skills to produce creative solutions. I have always had a technical mindset and this has also helped along the way.
