Over 20 years of experience with lots of happy customers: Marvel, Motorola, Siemens, Avid, Huawei, IHS, Adobe, Philips, Institute for the Future, etc. I was required to recite poems by my mom every day since elementary school. That was when I first realized how much voice can represent or distort literature. Although it can't really qualify as training, I did benefit tremendously from that early effort to try to interpret literature through my voice. I got my training working as a radio host in China. I gradually learned to harness my voice talent to handle commercial projects as I had to adjust my speaking style and pay attention to the nuances of languages when facing different interviewees. Neumann U-87, AKG C414, DBX compressor/limiter, Avalon microphone preamp, Alesis microverb, JBL monitors, Sennheiser studio headphone, AKG K240 studio headphone, ProTools, Cubase, Nuendo, Sony Vegas Studio platinum, Waves mercury bundle, Waves GTR I own a couple of professional recording studios and record projects here but will go to client's designated studios. I have the latest hardware and software to make sure the production quality is international broadcast ready. I know how to get my voice to sound right for your particular project! I am also a composer and can take care of most scoring/jingle/background music needed for commercials, radio and TV programs, corporate instruction videos and presentations.
