I have just recently discovered that I have talent in this area. At my parent's and teacher's encouragement, I decided to try and am told that I am a 'great cold reader'. I am very flexible and take direction extremely well. I usually get what the client wants in one or two reads. I also have my own continuous youtube thread.
My mother was an 'on air' talent, my father does both vo's and production, and my grandfather was the great 'Jim West', the famous 'story teller'.
I am very comfortable 'on mic'.
I am just now studying. My father has been my producer and coach, so far.
