I have performed duties both behind the microphone as an engineer and in front of the microphone with voice overs, documentary narrations, and station announcements. I've also had 15 years experience in Radio announcing. My education is in electronic engineering.. My voice over skills come naturally from my involvement in radio and television production for over 30 years and my natural acting ability. I regularly use a Samson large diaphram condensor microphone with double pop filter especially designe to connect directly into my computer through the USB connection. I have software providing the flexibility to enhance and modify any recording. I record initially in 16, 24, or 32 bit float WAV,(or AIFF) @44.1K or higher Then after editing and level or dynamics processing, I convert to the specified type of file. For commercials I reduce or eliminate breaths and filter "plosives" (popping p's, t's) making certain there won't be anything for automatic gain control circuits to exaggerate and consequently lower the quality. If the completed file is small enough, I can email it. If not, I will upload to an FTP site, either mine or the client's or mail a cd. I'm capable of doing complex productions with mixed voices and effects if the client provides those items. I do not possess licensed music or sound effects at the present time. I am a musician. I was a bi-vocational church music director for 20 years. During much of that time, I also owned a recording studio producing record albums. I'm totally experienced in all aspects of audio recording, processing and editing. I'm particularly skilled in editing music selections to fit particular time frames. Currently, I do editing and VO for a program heard on more that 200 stations across the country and internationally.
