I have 15 years in radio throughout Western Canada behind me. In this time I have held a lot of positions, including my current one in management. Even though I haven't always been on-air, I've always been the station's number one voice for ads. Usually, I do manly reads, such as sporting events, bars and night-clubs and home-electronics, and yes, I have also done stock-car and monster truck ads too.
As I've aged, I've also embraced the role of warm and fuzzy advocacy type voice.
I have the ability to go from the friendliest guy in the world to the loudest jerk imaginable in less than 30 seconds!
The usual suspects:
Broadcast Journalism training for 2 years at Lethbridge College in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada
On-air experience in small and medium market radio in Western Canada for the last 15 years.
Currently, I do this full-time, and I read news part-time for a major market news-based radio station.
I also have a home studio set up with a Mackie console, Adobe Audition 3.0 and a MXL 990 Condenser mic.
