My Voice Experience

I have done voicework since my early days in radio back in 1977. Which began in in Sharon, Pa. at WPIC and WYFM. I continued on in my radio career in a couple of small market stations in Northwest Pennsylvania assigned to afternoon and evening drive radio positions. Doing the bulk of the station's commercial copy production. I have done narration for Church Presentations around the holiday seasons. Standing before a live audience while being broadcast over the air simultaneously. After arriving in Texas in the 80's, I continued to work in Radio and eventually into Television. I continue to do voiceover work for Television and Radio as well as local media agencies. I have voiced web based commercials. In 1998, I came on board with KOSA TV in Odessa, TX with Audio Video Production Skills. I continue to serve KOSA TV to voice many of the stations promos and commercial ID's. I look forward to serving your station with liners and sweepers as well. News promos and positionings and more.
