No accent or Midwestern "Chicago-style" accent

I began my voice career like most-in college radio. I started reading afternoon news broadcasts and was a Sunday morning DJ. I'd pre-record the newscasts, and on the way home in my car I'd listen to myself and think, "Wow, I'm actually pretty good!" I landed an internship at the National Public Radio headquarters in Washington, DC where I learned the art of voicing and news reading. Back in Orlando, news leaders noticed my talent and I was asked to be the 1st "college reporter" for Central Florida News 13 in Orlando, FL-a TV station in the top 20 market. I then moved to Chicago and landed several freelance on-air roles including a TV Host for Natural Health News show, and a On-Air Host for an infomercial. I am now a full-time Host for a local TV show called, "Chicago Revealed." Many friends and family say that when they hear me on TV, they forget they are listening to MY voice, I capture and hold their attention, and they become engrossed in the story. You can't ask for much more than that!
