It all started in Omaha when I was doing dinner theater. I was one of the Pidgeon Sisters in the Odd Couple. The director happened to own a Talent Agency. She asked me to do a few commercials for her and that's all it took...I caught the bug.
However,I moved away from the area, toured with the Repertory Theater of America for a year, and then went back to school to achieve my Masters in Communication Disorders, as a Speech Pathologist. Got married, had two children and now they are both in college and I am ready to scratch that bug again. Voiceover has changed in that gap and it has been a learning process to get on board with my own home studio. I am back!
Some of the clients that have chosen Susan Wade to give their message a voice include:
Crossroads Mall
Ag Industrial Power
Community of Christ
Worlds of Fun
WCEN Radio
Community Church of Sterling
American Family Radio: "Stories By Nancy"
Home Health & Hospice Care
With a BA in Theater & Speech and an MA in Communication Disorders most of my life has been spent either interpreting the spoken word or helping others improve their communication skills.
Continued training for voiceover with the following:
Pat Fraley
John Burr Productions
Michael Minetree
Weist Barron Studios
I record in my own home studio using an MXL 990 microphone with M-Audio Firewire connectivity. I can import any type file via Adobe Audition 3 recording and editing software.
I am familiar and comfortable with delivering Medical, Educational, Psychological and Vocational training terms. And am particularly adept at bringing Biblical text to life.
I have a wide range of characters from children to seniors that run the full gamet from cute, adorable and bubbly, to paranoid, obstinate, deranged, indignant and vain.
