Talk about on the job training! One of my very first jobs was working for a small independent TV/radio station in Detroit, MI. A typical day included broadcasting radio news, reporting/anchoring TV news for morning and evening shows AND...(you guessed it!) recording commercial voiceovers.
Undergraduate degree in Telecommunications (Michigan State University). Anchor/reporter/commericial voice-over artist for Detroit, MI TV station. Graduate degree (MBA) in Marketing (American University, Kogod School of Business). Free-lance production work for various marketing-media production efforts. Official "voicemail greeting" artist for all of my friends/family!
My work in Marketing of course includes plenty of focus group activities to find out what appeals to customers...and what doesn't! I'll work for/with you in providing the "voice" that catches the attention of those you're trying to reach!
