My early experiences were singing and acting my way through High School and summer stock theatre. Lots of musicals and comedies, Great Fun! I was always singing (being the Bass you're in great demand)-from Barbershop Quartets to Chorales to contemporary jazz and blues.
While studying Acting at UConn, I got interested in Radio Announcing. I graduated from CSB in 1980, and was personally taught by "Bud Stone" himself. Talk about old time radio!
I have been in and out of the radio biz for years in all capacities, done a thousand radio spots in CT and MASS, some industrial work for a major insurance company (training video voice-overs-blah,blah). I have also done some TV spots (voice only) and I have been the show announcer for the U.S. Figure Skating Association, so I have arena experience as well.
Still On-Air 6 days per week, very active in the Non-Profit Radio world, so I have to pay the bills. You are the beneficiary!

Knowledge of music and good pronunciation skills.
I have that quality which allows me to sound like I am the complete authority on any given subject, even though I know absolutely nothing about that of which I speak. Think about it.
