Voice Description

I can adjust my voice to fit many situations. You need deep and warm, I can do that. You need sexy and fun, I can do that too. You need smooth and professional, I can nail that as well. I speak very clearly and have excellent pronunciation. I'm from the midwest, and do have a slight regional accent; but I've been told it works! I can do a southern accent, and a great New York accent too. I can do some impressions, and I'm willing to try anything once.

My Voice Experience

Currently, I work part-time at Clear Channel Communications in Milwaukee as a board operator. Before that I worked at a hardware store as a Sales Associate for 5 years. I'm new to the voice-over scene, but I'm very passionate and enthusiastic when it comes to radio and recording projects of all kinds.

My Training

I received my training for voice-overs and announcing from the Columbia School of Broadcasting in Washington D.C. I learned about commerical delivery, newscasting, play-by-play sportscasting, and voice-overs. I earned excellent grades on all my projects, and here's a sample of comments that my instructors had after reviewing my work...

"you have a professional gait." - Jeff Rollins

"good timing, great voice, you're announcing not reading, very talented!" - Rachel Harris

"smooth delivery...very good expression and stylization abilities...excellent voice quality...professional sounding delivery." - Warren Carmichael

"you've got it going on!" - John Meagley
