One of my first careers was as an airline flight attendant for an international airline. One of my responsibilities was making the pre-flight and in-flight announcements. On nearly every flight many passengers (and crew) would comment on how pleasant my announcements were. They described my voice and delivery as professional, smooth, comforting, warm and expressive. This was in great contrast to many of the shrill and unintelligible voices of many in the airline industry and elsewhere. Most recently I have been doing voice overs on Powerpoint presentations that are delivered in an on-demand format. These have primarily been for financial firms for training and product introductions. Prior work has been voice overs and acting in political campaigns, airline commercials, and various other marketing performances. I have a 4 year Bachelors degree from the State University of New York with an emphasis on debating skills. I have taken TV commerical acting training and Soap Opera acting classes with a NYC based acting school. Although I have no formal journalism training, my writing has been published in the New York Times, Newsday and several professional journals. I am the creator of the "Tombstone ATM" which is a mechanism for individuals to ensure that their heirs visit their gravesite on a regular basis. As a result of the "Tombstone ATM" project I was asked to be a guest on more that fifty radio and TV stations around the country and throughout the world. To learn more put "Tombstone ATM" into a search engine such as Google.
