Upper Midwestern American, "Fargo-Style Accent", 50's Newsreel Announcer, Some Celebrity Impressions, all North American English. OK, maybe Kermit the Frog and Bullwinkle J. Moose aren't necessarily celebrities any more, but I try. I'm still working on the "voice actor" thing--but utility production for radio has taught me how to talk fast, be legible, and get the turn around time down as low as possible and still deliver quality production.

Owner, Winking Bull Productions, Watertown SD 1998- Production Director, KSDR-FM Watertown, SD 1995- Creative Director, KVOX-FM Fargo, ND 1994-1995 20 Years On-Air Radio Experience 15 Years Production Outsourcing Experience I have learned the hard way what works and what doesn't since starting a broadcasting career at age 14. Since then, I've dealt with clients, agencies, sales reps, major market egos, small market wanna-be's, and always found something to learn from all of them. I do my best to find any training I can that will help me help you get your project to have the best sound, with the best writing, and the right delivery to bring you success.
