Cartoon character voices... some impersonations.

Usual major advertisers. Let's just say that the list includes commercial work, on-air promotion within the News/Talk and music formats. We have been "The Voice" of networks and local stations in major markets. KPRC - WIND - WNBC - NBC - WWJ - etc. Ranging from softer readings/books...to dynamic hard and heavy type movie trailers... adaptable in a moment to commercial work... it's all a part of what we've done. Usual progress through school -- college/university. Arizona State Univ. -- Degree BS, Radio & TV Broadcasting. Real training came with first on-air job while finishing high school. Tucson, AZ., KOLD - Real Training comes with experience and 25+ years on-air pretty much says it all. Taught seminars plus personal training on request through consulting business. Heart of my computer editing is the latest edition of Adobe Audition working through 'The Cloud". We have worked with Audition since its most early version - Kool Edit - then Kool Edit Pro...etc. The latest version is complete but we do keep other programs available in separate computers 'just in case'. (In the event we need something more complex then we rent a local professional studio and engineer used for daily on-air network productions and broadcasts.) Windows 10 Pro enables us to work the program quickly and efficiently and quietly! Otherwise it's Electro Voice Mic's... RE-20/RE-35 BK-1 and PL-44's and MXL tube condensers... Also AT-2020/AT-2035, Neumann TLM Condenser - or whatever else we need from our microphone inventory that can fit just about any requirement. From the isolated microphone position the audio is routed through a recording Interface and Tube PreAmp... through a Behringer board (very quiet). It's neat, simple and effective! We've done play by play... major market talk radio... interviewed Presidents in the Oval Office and business leaders in studios and offices. In addition, we've done interviews that have been edited for commercial use. Our real specialty though is in the studio where we create the mood and feel which is needed at that precise moment. As long as the writer/producer/director knows exactly what they're looking for... we've never had a problem reaching the necessary style and emotional level. We try not to make the entire process any more difficult than it need be!
