Thank you for reviewing my profile! My background in voice over work actually began in 1992 with a career in broadcast journalism working as a news reporter/anchor at various NBC and CBS affiliates. Like many announcers, the joy of announcing sort of springboarded into doing voice over production for various firms throughout the country, not to mention a whole lot more fun than the news business. So, I began working with production firms who seemed to like my style with commercials, public service announcements, documentaries, e-learning (I can't figure that one out) and my personal favorite, comedic style promos. So I have included some samples of luxury auto commercials, financial promotions, healthcare in this profile. Since 1992, my career has taken me in multiple directions but not stopped my passion in the creative arts of voice over work. People have said they find me fun to work with, which is great feedback. I'm very much a proponent of collaboration and hard work to nail the style and prose of the script. The better this is, the more authentic & emotional the delivery is to the listener. I want the end result as perfect as you do, so I have a complete sound proofed studio equipped with broadcast quality microphones (Rode NT1 fifth generation and Sennheiser's) mixers and digital recording software. I love what I do. And I hope we'll have the opportunity to share our talents on the next project!
