My initial experience in the voice-over industry happened in my early twenties as a television news anchor and reporter in a small market. After doing PSA's, television commercials and various news reports for the local radio station- I decided to try my hand at becoming a professional voice-over artist. Additional credits include infomercials, books on tape, audio podcasts, web series and various personal greetings.

I'm a Mac. For voice-overs, My MacBook Pro attaches to my MobilePre USB converter. I record using my Sterling ST55 microphone, typically in mono unless stereo is specified. As far as editing equipment is concerned, I use Final Cut Pro Studio, which allows me to easily edit video together with my audio. I also incorporate soundtracks and special effects using Soundtrack Pro. I'm familiar with the PC platform as well, and am able to open documents using window's software.
As a former news reporter, I have a lot of experience writing copy and I've become very good at condensing material- increasing its overall impact. I'm also a licensed real-estate agent, former health and consumer reports journalist, and a bit of a tech/internet junkie. I feel very comfortable using terms associated with those industries. I also love to travel and have been everywhere from Israel to Australia, which explain why most of my voice-over work is done out of my house :)
