My appreciation of music pushed me in the direction of broadcasting and radio. Acquiring my FCC broadcaster's license through a local high school-affiliated program, I served as a regular on-air personality for WXBA (88.1, Long Island) for several years during the early to mid-90's. In 1999 I became the jack-of-all-trades Business Manager for Girlie Action Media, an independent NYC PR firm for the music industry. One of my tasks was to oversee the phone/voicemail system. As a result I became the "Voice of Girlie Action" and my employers regularly received positive feedback on my recordings for the voicemail system... FCC Radio Broadcaster's license... Communications and broadcasting were emphasized in college... Marla Kirban was my VO coach... None currently... My son enjoys the way I read him his bedtime stories, incorporating character voices as well as straight reads. When a person's or character's voice catches my attention I have a pretty good knack at mimicking it. I can also carry a tune should the need arise...
