I have a great delivery to deliver information believeably, and have a knack for sounding very realistic.

My Voice Experience

I started in professional radio upon graduating from college, and quickly realized that my talent was suited more for commercial work than on-air work. I considered the production studio my laboratory, where I would experiment with production techniques and different ways to use my voice. As I continued my career in radio, I became a Creative Services Director, and was thrilled to work with clients and create things for them. I left radio due to ownership changes (and changes in my life-my wife and I had triplets!!!) but continue to do voicework around the area through contacts that I made throughout my career. I feel like it's time to maybe take the next step.
