I have done voice work for a couple of business which folded so my spot(s) never saw the light of day, I also worked for Eldred Van & Storage in Terre Haute, IN. as a relocation consultant, when they decided to run radio spots, they asked if I would like to do the voice-over work.
I have no formal training, what I do is from watching and listening radio & TV. I have been involved in the Vermillion County Community Theatre in Clinton, IN. as an actor and have done speaking work in church activities such as readings and narrations.
I have been involved in sales for the past 30 years and a lot of my work is done over the phone so the voice and tone used in over the phone delivery I think makes a difference in how I am perceived by the customer, it has always been positive.
