Additional Skills

TRANSLATION: I have done some translation works since 2002, from English/Malay to Chinese, mainly for radio commercials, documentaries, radio jingles, etc.

The inter-connection of the experience in all the different kinds of position/work/skill, such as Voice-over, Audio Post Production, Theater Performance, Radio Drama, Translation... which I realize is greatly helpful, for me to perform freely, with adequate flexibility in each of the position/work.
Being frequently attending vocal classes to polish/re-polish my vocal skill, is definitely helpful in my voice-over as well as theater performing works.
