I am a voiceover professional and independent video and audio producer. As a former news journalist, I voice scripts quickly with a warm, deep authoratative voice, similar to NPR. I have worked for national accounts including MCI, Toyota, Budweiser and Bank of Hawaii. I have also voiced many documentaries and PSAs that I produced and directed. I do a lot of work for Virtual Tours or Web Site presentations in the real estate & computer software industry. I have done many, many reads for government presentations on the island of Taiwan, ROC. When you're looking for a clean, professional sounding presentation in a female voice, let me read you a sample of your script.
I am a former radio news and television reporter/anchor who worked overseas in Asia during the first Gulf War in 1991. I "found" my anchor voice covering the Gulf War for an english-speaking radio station in Taiwan. I was invited to read many scripts for the Taiwan government, which produced video presentations for foreign investment. I have also worked for national US companies such as MCI, Toyota and Budweiser on several projects.
I have an audio studio that allows me to mix background music into your packages. As a former reporter, I am also a solid writer who can work quickly and effectively. I can also produce video and audio news releases for your corporate news and distribute them via satellite to over 750 television news and 5500 radio stations across the country. Satellite and Radio Media Tours are also available for your VIP or company spokesperson.
