My Voice Experience

I have been a programmer and community staffer with WMUH 91.7FM the Muhlenberg College radio station for over 20 years. I have also, since the 80’s done numerous recorded PSA’s for the station. This involved selecting appropriate bed music, reading; and in some cases; writing the copy, and recording and editing the finished
product. I began doing the PSA’s at a time when the student DJ’s had grown lax in the production of same and wound up becoming the temporary official voice of
almost all the recorded spots.

My Training

I will state at the outset that I do not possess the sheepskin most frequently required. Everything I can do was learned hands on, and through intuition as an actor in local theater troups and as a performing singer-songwriter.

My Studio Equipment

I have access to the WMUH production studios which uses Adobe Audition as its primary software. I have also worked successfully on a home computer, now in need of replacing, using Cakewalk and Cool Edit software programs. I can easily learn the use and parameters of any system you show me.

Additional Skills

I am a quick study albeit a bit of a prefectionist concerning anything that goes out with my name/voice on it. What I call perfectionistic some of my friends call "anal". So sue me.
