Hi there.. I can't TELL you how many women I've seduced as a regular radio announcer doing promos, the weather (that's right!), and even doing regular commercials during the course of 23-years spent working from small market to Major market radio. Ha, ha, lol -- at least THAT's what I'm told. From documentary presentations, commercials, promos and narrations.. I've BEEN there, and DONE that!
I haven't had my own "Voice-Over" business until, well ..now. However, I have had numerous opportunities, not only while working for many radio stations, but also doing ALL kinds of voice-over work "outside" of the radio stations I worked for. While in public radio for twelve of those 23-years, I even had my own Talk Show.. I did that for 7 of my public radio years.
What else can I say? If I can get a "hold" of a studio for some good quality sound, I'll be "in business!"
I hope Voice 1-2-3 and I can work together to accomplish this.. and, what bothers me is--why didn't I think of this before? Hummmm
College-- AA degree in Speech General (LA Valley College),
BA degree in Speech Communications (Long Beach State University); National Institute, a copy-writing /announcing School in Van Nuys, CA.
A former Adjunct Professor teaching Broadcast Arts (news production)@Washington State University & Southern Oregon State University.
I'm a singer song writer and play guitar, saxophone & drums.
None, except for a poorly constructed microphone hook-up to my hard drive in my computer; that's it! I need help in this area, but surely will not get the quality I would have in a regular broadcast studio, no matter WHAT I do here. The Good Lord knows, I'm no Audio Engineer; I've always been on the "other" side of the studio.
I'm a Salesman.. period. I can sell a bag of ice cubes to a Native American-Eskimo. I currently sell personal safety items such as pepper sprays, personal alarms, tasers, mace and stun-guns to retail stores like gun shops, beauty parlours, locksmiths, knive shops and pawn shops.
I also instruct youth baseball players professionally. My communication skills are excellent.
