Found my niche in Kids radio as a jock, with VO's as needed. Still have that youthful sound and sound great for any kids media. Then began a 10 year gig managing an advertising agency's radio production studio. Learned from hundreds of voice over pros over that time, and worked with inexperienced talent who were trying to learn; that is a test of patience.
20 years total.. 10 years in radio/10 years experience as Advertising Agency Radio Production Director. Full production, mixing and delivery. Seattle Soundie winner 2006. Casting and directing talent. The 10 years radio experience was sandwiched on either side of the studio managing. Very green part of the sandwich on the far end.
Rode NT1000 condenser mic (natural sound), MicPro mic pre-amp, cleanly digitized into Samplitude Pro 7.23 audio software.
I'm a former Production Manager, and have been in your shoes. I've done extensive casting and directing of all kinds of talent, so I understand your needs. I'm an excellent editor and award winner producer (plus a nice guy..)
