After 11 years in broadcast news at WDBJ-TV in Roanoke, Virginia, I spent 25 years working for Virginia Tech, providing voice for everything ranging from documentaries to fund-raising videos to scientific PowerPoints to podcasts. I do best when working with material I have written, but can handle other narration sources. I earned my B.A. in journalism at Washington and Lee University, where I spent all four years working for the campus radio station. I was news director my senior year. I spent 11 years at WDBJ-TV in Roanoke as a reporter and public affairs director, including 5 years as the station's capitol correspondent in Richmond. At Virginia Tech, I spent 25 years as a radio and video producer. I also worked with public radio station WVTF producing radio essays and reading magazines for the station's Radio Reading Service for the blind. I have access to an all-digital studio in which I worked for 25 years. There would be a charge of $50 an hour for work unrelated to Virginia Tech, the state of Virginia, or non-profits. I work hard to understand the scripts I narrate. I don't simply read what's put in front of me. I generally negotiate for the option of re-writing scripts to, at the least, clarify the script or deal with grammatical errors.
