I have worked in radio for 23 years, and have had numerous opportunities to do production. I have done it all, from splicing tape, to carts, to electronic recordings. I have had the chance to do characters in my spots, and can ad-lib a spot if necessary, given enough information.
I have trained with production in radio for over 20 years, and honed my emotional delivery being a play by play announcer for the past 20 years. I was a music major in college for five years, and also participated in plays, musicals, and speech competitions.
I use Cool Edit Pro as my recording software.
I got a chance a few years ago to voice over a potential entrant to the Star Wars fan film competition...I did all the voices for the CG animated project...unfortunately, due to copyright issues with the music used, we were unable to enter it...it remains a proud achievement for me.
