Voice Description

My voice comes across beautifully in a straight, warm, sincere read; no pipes, no gimickry; it's a very "hip",
(but not intimidating) voice of authority. I am also very strong with accents (dialects). My foreign accents are exceptional and I can make them very believable or full of fun. I also can work with you to develop characters. I am capable of many impressions and a few are available for preview among my online demos.

My Voice Experience

This ability was in me from childhood. I would regularly play pretend using a spoon, etc. as a microphone. I grew up with the "old school" TV and radio announcers like Don Wilson, Ralph Paul, Don Russell, George Fenneman and Don Pardo. I refer to William B. Williams as my mentor. In 1974, I took the course in radio broadcasting at Connecticut School of Broadcasting. Immediately following, I took a part-time job at the local radio station where I was an air personality for over 12 years. As for sound production, I came from analogue (cart machines and tape cutting) to digital (I am an advanced operator of Sound Forge editing software). Over the years I have produced many commercials and PSA's... from concept to final tape.

Additional Skills

My photography career as well as my retail (storekeeper) career have vastly broadened my understandings and my capabilities. I know a great deal about photography, art and music. I am also very knowledgeable in fine wines, beers and spirits. Also, I have learned much about cooking, nutrition, vitamins & supplements, mainstream medicine and alternative medicine. This broad range of interests and knowledge enables me to speak with a sense of authority and confidence that the listener discerns.
