Voice Description

My voice is typically described as deep, warm and smooth; and I have done everything from TV and radio commercials to narration for documentary TV programs, litigation summary videos and business presentations. I am very articulate and am also a professionally-trained writer so I am particularly good at pronouncing difficult words and using proper grammar.

My Voice Experience

I started working in television production (and did my first voice work) more than a couple decades ago while still in college. I started doing narration for the PBS science and technology documentary series I soon became a Producer for and continued doing V/Os for various commercials and non-broadcast videos. I later went to work for a highly-regarded New York Stock Exchange traded financial firm for a decade (up to 2010), where most of my voice work was very niche marketing videos. However, throughout most of those years to date, I also continued doing freelance voice work. I actually spend most of my time nowadays on the combination of stock market investing, along with researching and writing related articles so I am only recently ramping back up the amount of voice work I do.

My Training

I earned my B.A., Magna Cum Laude (3.7 GPA), in both Communications and Business Administration from the University of South Florida. I have taken several seminars, but learned most of what I know about voice work from a former employer who I still do some contract work with. I am a member of Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society and Golden Key Honor Society.
