Pat Gessner

British (cogney), Irish, German, Scottish, and Southern American accents are my specialty. I can also do a raspy smoker voice, Randy Savage pro wrestling type voice, and middle european (swedish or finnish) type accent. No dialects other than english.

I have recorded several bumpers, sweepers, ID's and liners for WONY 90.9 in Oneonta, NY. and WNEK 106.1 in Springfield, MA. My recordings were used to introduce shows on air, as a wacky character voice in commercials, and even screaming in Scottish in several instances, as part of a character i created in college. Even after graduating, several of my ID's are still in use today at the college radio station of SUNY Oneonta. I am currently working providing liners and voice work to WCWP on the CW Post campus in Brookville, NY. I have a bachelor of science degree in Mass Communication with a focus on production, and a minor in history. I have taken two classes of broadcast announcing, audio production, broadcast journalism, Mass Media research, and media seminar. I recently graduated from SUNY Oneonta, where i was a long standing member of the radio station WONY for 3 years, the last year serving as the heavy metal director. Three standard unidirectional mics, Mac OSX Version 10.6.7, Primary programs used are Audacity, AudioBox USB and SoundByte, Samson MDR624 Mixer.
