Mid-west Chicagoan. Heavy, yet humble voice spoken with authority, persuasiveness, charm and good character.

12/03 - I did a VOICEOVER with a Los Lobos CD looped in the backround. After a few tries, I WENT LIVE announcing 4 weeks of Holiday Sales WELCOMING the public to "The Eddie Bauer Warehouse Clearance Sale. Our hours of operation are...for more info, please contact us on the web at..." Then, a 5-minute COUNTDOWN script for markdowns was added to create a sales frenzy. Man, what a BLAST that was! From a contractors temp job directly to the Holiday X-mas Announcement arena. I handled incoming calls for directions[Off MIC] and started from-the-top again every 10 minutes for 8 hours. Whew! My DEEP-TRUCKING voice carried throughout the store and BLEW-OUT the house P.A. ! I bought a Bullhorn to keep walking the store reading the script to keep the "Zap" of IMPULSE-SHOPPING alive while the P.A. got fixed. Man, the ATTENTION I DREW from the public was incredible. Almost everyone I met mistook me for some RADIO TALENT...hmmm. Sony DAT('90) is on PAUSE/RECORD as a LIVE Mixer for my XLR Mic Inputs. The RCA Out goes Mini- Plug into my PC. All Sound is recorded in RECORD PAD - Australian. The playback is always phenomenal with RICH, DEEP, EXOTIC CLARITY that's unadulterated. WAVE PAD allows for mixes. EXPRESS BURN makes CD's. With a little Amaretto I sing-a-long with FRANK SINATRA, trying to remember the "moments" he had. Shure Mics, Sony DAT on Record/Pause into a mini-plug for PC audio in. Then I use NCH.com recording software. My Retail Sales exp.comes from Amling's Flowerland, Officemax to Ace Hardware. I have a CALM RESILENCE which HOLDS STEADY even while impromtu visits from REGIONAL SPORTS CELEBRITIES are at hand. I prove I can help. "It's my Fathers Voice" I'd say. I adjust my DEMEANOR and INTEGRITY up/down to PLAY with people in a FUNNY,HELPFUL way or become STRICTLY AUTHORITATIVE standing-up for technology persuasively to assure the public of QUALITY in their purchases. It's a blast how the public comes to you(me) enjoying TRUSTED advice. I've learned to "speak" from an area of expertise or not speak at all.
