Martha E.S. Buchanan

Crisp vowels and hard consonants for an intellectual persona. Blithe and witty for a hint of effervescence and vulnerability Caustic and sarcastic intonation for spice and spite. Deep and full for a sensual or intimate sound.

I can neither confirm nor deny at this time that in a past life, I was a wage slave. I am multi-faceted, educated, maybe a little complicated, but usually amiable and easy-going person. I perform onstage, provide direction, and broadcast for OWL radio. First, insight to me: my brain contains vast qualities of random information and I add to it constantly. I work with college students. I am a fourth generation U.S. citizen, whose mother tongue is English, and I grew up with Spanish as a subtracted culture. I lived in Deutschland for 10 years and meine Deutsch ist sere schlecht. Second, I'm sharp as a whip and the next thing you’ll notice is that I’m way over thirty. Which brings me to my third point, I have massive quantities of experience speaking onstage, off-stage, presentations, training sessions, conversations, rabble rousing and in poetry slams, but have never appeared before a judge in a court of law. I have a professional career and am neither a starving artist nor casting couch veteran. I work well with others, am punctual, reliable and take constructive criticism and directions well, never personally. You should work with me because I can deliver the goods in a good way.
