My Training

I come from a family devoted to "reading aloud" for enjoyment. I was always listening to sound and music and realized the power of both. I became very much aware of the wonderful voice I had inherited and enjoyed using it . Fascinated with sound engineering and recording I spent much time during college years at radio stations. I taught radio and television production at the college level at Cornell and American Universities. I learned the craft and honed my skills by doing.

My Studio Equipment

Using all MAC based recording and editing systems. Neumann and AKG Mics. M-Audio mixing boards. Garageband software and music effects libraries.
Have access to PRO-Tools and associated software and studio hardware.

Additional Skills

Coming from a family of recording and sound engineers as well as musicians I can bring to the voice over challenge a full and rich set of experiences.
If asked I am never shy about making suggestions .
I believe I take direction extremely well and enjoy the creative challenge.
