J Michael Duca

I have done radio commercials in English and Italian. I served as on-line spokesperson for an instructional web site for Intel. I've done feature film work and have extensive experience with radio, both hosting talk shows and doing off-line interviews. I have podcasts on iTunes and do regular webcasts on sports. I'm highly skilled with a teleprompter and typically can lay down complex tracks in one or, at most two, takes. Everyone I have ever worked with has complimented me on my professionalism and my willingness to take and respond positively to direction.
