My experience is well rounded, but my entrance into VO was certainly by accident. My first VO work was for a local motorcycle shop where I was working. A customer commented to the sales manager that she thought I should be on the radio with my voice and I should record their phone messages. I wrote the script and recorded the VO. Soon after I was contacted by our the phone company to complete another project for a local gym. Several years later I was working for a local advertising company. The VO we were using on a particular project was not acceptable by the client, so I stepped in to help. My voice was used on several commercial projects including vocational schools and colleges. my voice is used for 5 commercials for a major HVAC school in Chicago, IL. The school attracts both male and female students from a variety of backgrounds, 80% male 20% female student body ratio. My work in the advertising industry provided me with an high level of education into VO. I'm very interested in pursuing my VO career, as I have attended several local workshops, studied variant inflections and tone types. I do not have my own studio, but my schedule is very flexible with the ability to travel. I have a 13 year background in marketing and communications. I proof well with the ability to work independantly.
