I spent 1987 through 2006 in the radio business as a DJ. During that time I produced thousands of commercials, PSAs, promos and voiceovers for television commercials. I began DJing in the 7th grade. Since then, I've always been behind a microphone. In 1985 I attended The Recording Workshop in Chillicothe Ohio which was a smart move. I have utilized the recording engineering talents which I learned there all my life. After graduating high school in 1986 I went to Fort Lauderdale to attend Bauder College. I received my diploma for Radio & Television Broadcasting and was the first in my class to land a radio job. I've built my home studio piece by piece with the eventual goal of utilizing it for voiceover production. I began the process in 2004 with a Roland Digital Audio Workstation. I've always been a fan of Audio Technica microphones so I also bought an AT-4040. Me and this mic get along real well. I have other AT mics and Shure SM-57s for instrument recording. Since then I've added DBX compressor/limiters, Digital Studio effects racks and Studio Projects tube pre-amps. An old, but excellent Parasound EQ is used for the listening studio. My studio speakers are DCM TF350s with a KLH sub. I also audio test my production on 3 or 4 different sources to be sure the end product sounds great on any sized speaker or system.
