I cannot drive any distance without practicing and imitating anything I hear on the radio or other sources of material that come to mind. Before the days of hands-free phones, I garnered quite a few puzzled looks from other drivers!Though I have no formal training or experience beyond a lifetime of annoying friends and family with various accents and impressions, I have also practiced with my father-in law who has been blind for almost 50 years. I will read news stories, articles, short-stories and even novels, (in stages) while trying to seperate charactors with unique voices. He and many others have recommended that I do this professionally for some time, but I never thought it would be lucrative until recently. While not expecting to retire a millionaire, I may be just the "diamond-in-the-rough" that your production requires.

I have taken speed-reading classes and also have experiance in editing for school and trade publications. I can spot grammatical and contextual errors quickly. I also have studied Spanish, French, Russian and Italian. I can read these at a speaking pace with (mostly) accurate pronunciation.
