I began airing my voice at the age of 11 in elementary school as a morning and afternoon announcements speaker, and I continued doing so throughout middle school. My sophomore year in college, I decided to try my hand-- or rather my voice-- at radio, and I fell in love with it! Prior to joining my alma mater's radio station, I was often teased for the way my voice sounded; however, working in radio made me appreciate my voice for its unique sound and how it carried over the air. Working in radio also led me to encounter many other talented individuals who told me my voice was different from anything else they had ever heard before, and I could go far with it. They informed me that radio wasn't my sole option, and I could branch out into other areas such as voiceovers. That's what has brought me here today: a chance to share my voice with others through other mediums! Plus, my voice seems to draw impressionable, little children who enjoy listening to it and conversing with me as if I'm an old pal. Imagine what I could do over the air! --B.S. in Accounting; minor in Music --College radio --Grew up in the media arena, as my father is a television broadcaster, and former radio broadcaster. --Took courses such as: Voice Performance for the Performer and Voice and Diction in college --Music vocalist and performer --On-stage performance experience
