I started working in radio at the age of 17 and thought I was the luckiest senior in high school. I worked in Christian radio for 9 years before I decided to stay home with my kids. I was a disc jockey, music director, psa director while writing and producing 1000's of commercials, writing written and recorded psa's, news for morning shows and charracter voices & personalities for commercials and morning and afternoon shows. I also hosted and produced music interview programs and did a 100's of live and recorded interviews. I also do televsion voice overs and have done message on hold for a local cable company. I do a voice that whisles while talking and I did it on our sister station for their morning show. The audience really thought I was a real person and wanted to know where I would be performing. It was very funny! Having the talent to do character voices is also nice for playing jokes on friends and family. Listen to my demos and the many different accents and character voices I can do. I also MC'd many concerts, music competitions and other live events. I was a live disc jockey for our weekly skate night events. I currently MC and host a yearly girls conference in our area. I set up and attend all radio and television interviews for the conference along with writing and producing all radio & television commercial for the conference. Visit www.itsagirlthingconference.org I have experience with television and used to host a weekly Christian music video program and did live voice over introductions and outros for a daily Christian television program. I am currently doing voice overs for John Hagee Radio ministries. I have also utilized my voice for jingles for local companies. Most of my training was hands on and I learned a lot from professional producers who had over 30 years of experience. I worked 100's of hours in the studio learning, writing and producing. I would practice hours to get the voice over just right. I took all the classes available at Del Mar college for radio and television. I attended radio and television conferences in Dallas, Houston and Corpus Christi. In 1996 I won an Addy Award for a television voice over I did for Time Warner Cable. For 2 years I volunteered on a daily bases at a local Christian Televsion station. I learned a lot about televsion production, camera's, on air hosting and master control. I am also a speaker who ministers to young women and ladies about issues that face us today. I use a lot of humor and visuals to get my point across. I do a character called the "Makeup Lady" whose name is Mary Jane Jo Bob. I put on the makeup by using someone elses hands to apply the makeup. In the end it's a terrible mess but I really get my message across. I also sing and have led praise & worship at my church for the last 15 years. I have been the president of the board of directors for Taking Back the Streets, a local gang outreach program geared to help at risk people get out and away from gangs. I am currently on the board of directors of "It's a girl thing" a local conference geared to toward middle school, high school girls and moms.
