My Voice Experience

AS A JOURNALIST AND BROADCASTER, I HAVE PERFORMED ON CHANNEL 9, KQED, SEVERAL CABLE STATIONS IN SAN FRANCISCO, OAKLAND, BERKELEY AND HAYWARD CALIFORNIA. I HAVE DONE LIVE NARRATION, INTERVIEWS, REPORTS AND VOICE-OVERS DURING THE 1980, 1984 AND 1988 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTIONS. I ALSO HAVE HOSTED A TALK SHOW WITH A FAST-PACED MIX OF MUSIC, VOICE-OVER AND SOUND QUOTES. EXAMPLES OF MY WORK ARE AVAILABLE. I STILL DO TELEVISION PROGRAMS. I HAVE ONE SCHEDULED IN BERKELEY, FEBRUARY 3, 2007. I HAVE OFTEN BEEN CALLED THE "MAN OF MANY VOICES". I CURRENTLY WORK AS A REPORTER FOR KPFA RADIO. MY PROGRAM, "WHAT'S THE VERDICT", AIRED ON KPFA RADIO AND ITS WEBSITE FOR SIX YEARS. OUR RATINGS WERE EXTREMELY HIGH.

My Training

DOING VOICE-OVER FIRST CÅME TO MY ATTENTION WHILE DOING FUN BROADCASTS FOR FELLOW SAILORS DURING MY STINT ON A U.S. NAVAL VESSEL IN THE PACIFIC DURING THE VIETNAM WAR ERA.

I BEGAN WITH A CORRESPONDENCE COURSE FROM COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF BROADCASTING, MOVED ON TO CHRIS BORDEN'S SCHOOL OF BROADCASTING IN SAN FRANCISCO WITH THE GOAL OF BECOMING A DISC JOCKEY. THAT LED ME TO CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, HAYWARD, WHERE I EARNED A BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE IN MASS COMMUNICATIONS. I WAS THE SPORTS REPORTER FOR THE COLLEGE TELEVISION STATION, AND FOR HAYWARD CABLE TELEVISION. I PARTICIPATED IN AN EXTENSIVE RECORDING WITH ACADEMY AWARD WINNER VIVIAN-VIRDON ROE AND HUSBAND, WHO PRODUCED AND EDITED THE DOCUMENTARY FILM FOR WHICH SHE WON THE OSCAR.

I LEARNED SOME THINGS ABOUT MY FAN BASE WHEN IN 1999, MANY OF THE STATION AND NETWORK PERSONALITIES WERE INVITED TO PUBLIC SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS. I MUST HAVE SHAKEN THE HANDS OF A THOUSAND IN PALO ALTO, MOSTLY MIDDLE-AGED, ABOUT AS MANY IN SANTA ROSA AT NEW COLLEGE, AND HUNDREDS AT MISSION HIGH SCHOOL WHERE WE SPOKE IN FRONT OF A PACKED HOUSE. THE SAME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO. I HAVE BEEN ON PUBLIC FORUMS WITH SAN FRANCISCO REPORTERS, I'VE SERVED ON PANELS WITH NAMES SUCH AS BARBARA SIMPSON, FORMER NEWS ANCHOR, ED CAVERNGERO OF KCBS IN SAN FRANCISCO AND SAN FRANCISCO ATTORNEY ANGELA ALIOTO. FINALLY, I EARNED MY STRIPES WHEN IN 1976 AND 1976, I CO-PRODUCED AND DID THE VOICE-OVER FOR A STAGE PRODUCTION CALLED, 'THE HISTORY OF BLACK DRESS".
