Jewish/Yiddish, Russian, French, Italian, "New Yawk".

As a professional fund raiser, I'm on the phone with people all over the country every day for hours at a time. Here are some of the comments I've received over the years: "You have the sexiest voice of any telemarketer I've ever heard!" From an airline stewardess: "You know how your voice sounds on the phone, don't you?" From many people: "You should be a radio announcer!" "I usually hang up on telemarketers, but I listened to you." As a technology business communications professional, I speak with reporters, editors, industry analysts, and executives at all levels of responsibility at some of the biggest corporations in the world. For these audiences, I'm professional, responsive, persuasive; in addition, I know how to control the conversation, knowing when to listen, when and how to respond, the kinds of questions--open and closed--to ask, to get to the point at which I want to be. Off-off Broadway stage and production experience, classroom teaching background, eight years as a professional fund raiser. Snowball "Blue" microphone; Garage Band. "The more one puts into one's mind, the more it will hold"--Knowledge is power. I can speak--and read--about topics from baseball to medicine, to men and women. Good rapport with children, too. Good writer; can rewrite and/or edit scripts to get information across within a specified amount of time.
