Adobe Audition 12 Rokit 5 monitors As a former business anchor for the Wall Street Journal, and co-host of Newsweek on Air I bring intelligence and credibility to informational programming. I also worked for many years in film and TV distribution, production and post-production on feature films and TV series - which enables me to see the big picture as regards your project. Much of this work was international (Spain, France, Italy, Mexico) which gives me a broader outlook than most. Acting, of course, because that's what we voice actors do. My time in radio improved my timing, my production background enables me to get a complete perspective on your job and being bilingual gives me an agility with language that lets words like carboxymethylcellulose roll off my tongue, while narrating a medical script, just as easily as names like Huitzilopochtli, when I'm telling a story of ancient Mexico. I grew up in New York City but have lived in many countries so while I speak with no accent I can bring back both an international English accent and a New York accent before you can say "The Bronx."
