You might know of me as "The NewsThang" or the Local Host of the Howard Stern Radio Show. My name is Melissa Foxx, and boy do I have a VOICE!
I've spent the past decade hosting my Hot Talk Radio Program! I took advantage of the availability of interns and built a daily, two-hour long much-listened to radio show that aired for over 8 years! The NewsThang featured current news/events, live music and the fun call-in contest, 'stoner trivia'.
Plus, working with interns who will do anything 'for the show', provided the listeners and callers with tons of insight into the inner working of this particular broadcast medium...we called it 'Radio 101'!
Over the course of as many years I have voiced, written and created tons of Commercials, PSAs, Promotional Ads and the like. Some of these campaigns continue to run all over the airwaves of Clear Channel's South Eastern Radio Division.
I also was the executive producer and voice talent of GTV (Guerilla Television) from 2002 through 2005. This award winning satirical comedy & music show was syndicated throughout Florida with an awesome response!
In 2002, along with Professional Singer/Songwriter/Musician Linda Nunez, we opened a Voice Academy, AOV Studios, initially geared toward teaching folks HOW to Sing.
We have since expanded our curriculum to include the Art of becoming a Voice Artist, as well as the addition of more programs aimed toward the Vocalists.
For example, AOV Studios offers the serious student Live Performance Evaluations, Troubleshooting and Technique, Music/Voice Artist Career Consultations and the Business of Music!
AOV Studios works closely with many fine Entertainment Companies and Educational Institutes like Full Sail Recording Arts School, William L. Whitacre and Assoc. (Entertainment Atty) and the Connecticut School of Broadcasting - Orlando.
I own and operate a Full Service Digital Recording Studio, complete with Pro Tools LE. I have received the 'Official Operator and Qualified Trainer Certification of Pro Tools' through DigiDesign and Avid Products.
