Jerrod Knight

Midwestern, New Yorker (various,) Middle Eastern, various European accents (specifically created and honed for radio bits)

I began announcing hometown basketball games in 1999 and have since earned a degree in broadcasting, with professional stops throughout the midwest, mainly in Texas. My morning radio (and PD) gig provides ample opportunity to further skills in copywriting and production, along with the sharpness you've just got to have for wake-up bits... My improv comedy background allows for an interesting palatte from which to create powerful, edgy and poignant character voices. I've recieved awards and recognition for production and voicework for radio stations that include KKOM, Commerce, TX; KETR-FM, Commerce, TX; KWOX-FM, Woodward, OK; KMZE-FM, Woodward, OK, and KJKB-FM, Jacksboro, TX. My voice has entertained audiences in three states and countless listeners via the Internet. -Bachelor of Science in Radio and Television Broadcasting, 2005, Texas A&M University - Commerce. -Repertory Member, Cricket City Improvisational Comedy Troupe -Acting for Television and Film (dialect training and character development) Mic - Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Studio Vocal Mic Mixer - Behringer UBB1002 10 CHANNEL MIXER Proc - Behringer MDX1600 Autocom Pro XL Processor Editing Software - Adobe Audition (familiar with Studio Audio Workshop) In my years in radio, the most help from experience I've had comes from my years in the improv troupe. It takes a special skill to envelop yourself in a character and turn around moments later with the ability to call forward real emotion (though typically laughter!)
