My voiceover career began by discovering that I could make Kant and Aristotle interesting and understandable to my classmates just by reading it out loud. I enjoy telling stories and can entice the attention of my audience with my voice. I have hosted/announced at outdoor events. I broadcast prepared news scripts and ad-lib ads for CRIS radio Chicago. My latest project is writing, voicing, engineering, and producing ads for Chicago Lighthouse Services for the Blind. I am proficient with Pro Tools and record at home. I've completed 2 voiceover classes with Bosco Productions and am currently enrolled in Improv classes at Second City. But my main experience has been continual practice and experience especially in developing mic technique. I play bass and jam regularly with friends--helps me to get a feel for timing and interactions with other talent. Pro Tools M Box with a mac and external Glyph drive, Audio Technica AT4033 microphone, Alesis 520 monitors, Audio Technica M50 headphones I am outstanding at reading all types of material: I have a wide range of interests and love words so nothing trips me up. I studied engineering and accounting so I am familiar with technical and business terminology.
