Abigail Burton

I have not done any formal recordings except for my own voicemail recordings at work and at home. Even when I do answer the phone and I choose to act like I am an answering service, people cannot distinguish if the voice is a live person or voicemail. I love it! Odd enough, when I am serious and focused at work and I answer the phone, I have been told that I sound like a 1-900 number ... oh gosh... yes, I must admit that I turn red at times... and yes, I get teased a lot about this. University of Phoenix required us to do presentations on almost a weekly basis. This provided me more experience in presenting myself in a professional manner and learn how to project my voice and deliver my messages and goals accordingly. I have been known to have a pleasant voice especially when I was working at a Help Desk / Call Center for Information Technology. I have several awards for customer service. This information can be disclosed upon request. Something Personal: When it comes delivering and presenting our voices, my sister and I were trained by our father, Ret. Army LTC, Charles Burton, he likes to be referred as such :) He will be 94 this June 2006. He trained us to speak and emote from different plays, particularly, Shakespearian in nature. We both started at the young tender age of 9 and 5 accordingly. From there, we have been avid readers and learned how to use our voices as a life skill. My sister, Joyce Ann Burton, has been in the broadcasting industry for many years (Radio and TV). Here she is in one of here stints at CBN Asia: We were told that our voices sound distinctly similar. I believe that the talent exists within our DNA.
