My voice experience starts with an elementary school and a stage...and pretty much keeps going from there. I've been involved with theater, choir and pit band-based music (I play flute and bass) off and on since I was eight. I have plenty of pro experience as both an on-air and voice-over announcer, but my main gig for over eight years has been producing all of those voice-overs into commercials. I can give you the whole package! 15 years of radio broadcasting experience in Canadian commercial radio. 4 years of teaching introduction to voice and home recording at The Acting Company in Ottawa, Ontario. Sears & Switzer Voice-Over Overview Weekend class, March of 2011. http://www.searsandswitzer.com/ Graduate - Fanshawe College, London, Ontario. Two years in the Radio Broadcasting program studying specialized courses in production, copy writing and voice work/on-air presence for commercial radio. Graduate - Sudbury Secondary School, Sudbury, Ontario. Five years spent studying specialized courses in drama, music, fine arts and choral singing. Work studio available with Rode NT2 or Electrovox mics, as well as a Yamaha O2R mixer and Pro Tools. Home studio available with Adobe Audition 6.0, a Behringer Xenyx 802 board and Rode NT2-A microphone or Blue Yeti microphone. I can send files within 24 hours turnaround and have access to a studio 24/7. If you require certain parts of your script to be read in French, I can also oblige (regional pronunciation guides welcome).
