Each spot requires it's own flavor voice. and I attempt all and land on what works

I started out answering needs for political ad's, then started expanding my base to include radio spot for friends in business. Then I started pre-recording ideas and timed spots with donuts and outros, and taking a proposal or package to business owners. Doing that I experienced some level success. Did not make connections with any large market or national markets. I know that I have much to learn. I have been in the area of having to communicate successfully thru all of my carrier. I have been in management in work and a musician/engineer in my side income-recreation. I was our cooperate Zinger-Miller Facilitator. (Train the Trainer) requiring me to prepare both visual and act-out situations people encounter in the workplace. enabling me to adlib for a living...

My audio interface is a Personas 1818VLS along with Personius Digi8 to allow all the available tracking I need. I use an array of mic's depending on what I'm looking for.
