JJ Ritchey

I have over 25 years experience doing voice work for companies such as Equifax, Ghirardelli Chocolate, Mosaic, Cannon, 3M, The Tampa Tribune, Orkin, and even The New Orleans Jazz Club! I also do on-hold messages and voicemail greetings. I began doing impressions of my teachers when I was in grade school and eventually started impersonating celebrities on the radio. My voice coach is Nancy Wolfson of Braintracks Audio in Los Angeles. I majored in broadcast journalism in college, and minored in theatre. I performed in plays and musicals in college, high school and elementary school, and have always been very aware of the way people speak. In fact, I was correcting my Dad's grammar when I was five years old. My passion for performing has helped propel my career through my radio days as a morning show host, which led to a career in televsion as a major market meteorologist, a large market TV talk show host, and several stints on two different National TV shopping channels. I have a fondness for classic films, and classic cars. My studio includes: -Mac Computers -Source Connect -Sennheiser MKH 416 microphone -Bose headphones -Royer Labs PS101 pop filter -Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface -Auralex Acoustic Sound Panels -Audacity / Garage Band
