My Voice Experience

I've spent the majority of the last 25 years in radio station production. As an on-air personality, I've gotten to read provided scripts, write my own scripts with looming deadlines and even broadcast live at client events where I had to ad-lib :60 seconds to 2:00 minutes with just copy points.

You can count on me to be prepared, professional and excited to be a part of YOUR project, whether it's a commercial, narration, on-hold message or other v/o.

You'll never get an "ego" act with me, and I love to have fun while I'm working.

Thank you for taking the time to look over my materials, and I look forward to working with you in the near future.
