Chris Villani

Boston accent, Italian accent, New York accent, Southern drawl, Australian accent, can do a number of impersonations and characters. I also love to experiment and try new things and play into certain characters.

I have been an on-air radio talent for several years and have done commercial voice over work for numerous entities including: *WWZN 1510 "the Zone" in Boston *ESPN Radio Boston *Harvard University Athletics *Babson University Athletics *the High Point Panthers Radio Network *the Salem Avalanche Class "A" baseball team *Milford High School *the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association *WJPZ 89.1 in Syracuse *WAER 88.3 in Syracuse While much of my work has been for sports radio stations or teams, the work I have done for these places has been wide ranged and varied, so I have a greater range of ability than simply as a "sports announcer." College: *Bachelor of Science in Broadcast Journalism from the SI Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University I took numerous classes in radio and television writing, delivery, and production. I was awarded three Syracuse Press Club awards for produced work, as well as the Bayliss Broadcasting Scholarship, the Don Edwards Broadcast Journalism Award, the George Plavocos Radio Achievement Award, and was a top 10 finisher in the Hearst Radio Competition two years in a row. Since college, I have received on the job training in voice delivery from voice professionals who have worked for ESPN, WFAN in New York City, and WEEI in Boston among other places. I have access to a fully equipped studio: *studio mics *digital editing software including Wavelab and Adobe Audition *recording ability to any format including CD, cassette, mini-disc *ISDN compatible *ability to edit and produce sound and deliver via any format in electronic or hard copy I've been studying voice delivery for several years now and have learned to become a student of my craft. I love to learn and try new things regarding voice delivery and would love to assist in any type of project you might have.
