James Earl Jones, Denzil Washington, I can do urban accents (street, southern accents, Northern accents (NY & Philly i.e) Educated professional. In your face, or laid back,

I have voiced over 500 commercials I'm sure in the 28 years I've been in radio. Having worked many different formats allowed me to grow into a person with a lot of deliveries for commercials. I have been a stand out in concert promotion commercials ( George Clinton, Boney James, Kem, Mary J. Blige i.e.) Auto Dealer ships in the southeast, Carnival Shoes, Show Carnival, Burger King,Insurance firms, it is a long list. Stage announcer for Radio One Raleigh Crystal Awards 2005-2007. Stage Announcer over twenty years I'm a freelance journalist who also is a photographer for a couple publications. One of them being the "Carolina Times". Board of Directors WCOM FM 103.5 FM A Program Director WCOM FM 103.5 FM North Carolina A & T State University Central Carolina Community College Broadcasting Duke University continuing Ed. Non Profit Management. Freelance commercials for southeast markets for over 20 years AT home I'm using Adobe Soundbooth editing software and Shure mics. Also I am able to use FM radio stations production facilities anytime I choose. They feature all the bells and whistles of a FM production booth with sound board, Shure mics and clean sound. As my career has been spent helping clients achieve their goals I learned along the way that great things can happen when communication is handled between all parties. Knowing something about the client and the picture they wish to paint helps me to be able to deliver the voice over they are seeking. My background in writing commercials, articles for print, on line, plus stage work helped to hone a large knowledge of the English language. It makes for different copy and exciting spots. I'm around preschoolers each day as I work part time at a daycare. It helps to keep me young and fresh and give me ideas for commercials. I spend a lot of time brainstorming with friends that are also in the business about campaign ideas and equipment to stay relevant.
