My Voice Experience

My work history began in 1977 with a 100,000 watt radio station in the Midwest; I lived in LA for 14 years and absorbed the atmosphere of LA, then moved to the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX Metroplex, where most of my training and experience has taken place. I love imitating voices and sounds (I'm also a musician), and I am eager to please, and take direction very well.
