I can perform both an urban and "valley girl" dialect

**I voice and produce spots all day, every day for Clear Channel Radio's urban and general market formats.** - I have voiced and produced thousands of commercials since 2001 - I've been a Radio Personality for Clear Channel Radio since 2001 - my voice is my life, my income - I've been the Urban Production Director for Clear Channel Radio since 2007 - responsible for voicing and producing commercials for 3 different urban formats and 4 different general market formats. - Special Programming Broadcast announcer since 2003 - my voice has been the "announcer" of 3 different radio broadcast ministries in over 7 states - I've been independently contracted by a canadian voiceover agency since 2008, voicing hundreds of spots that are heard nationwide. My training and education has been hands on at Clear Channel Radio for the past 9 years. I was a theater major in college so I have taken many classes on speaking and performing. In my daily studio, I use an Electro-Voice RE20 Microphone, which has been an industry standard for decades. I record using Adobe Audition, recording at 256 Kbps in stereo. I am an expert at creating an interesting ebb and flow of the words I speak. This comes from my experience as a writer of poetry since 1988 (when I was 8 years old) and performing as spoken word artist since 1998. A spoken word artist is one who performs their poetry. I have been using words to paint pictures for over 10 years. I pride myself on being able to use my voice to captivate an audience, both on stage and in commercials. I can read words and make them come completely alive to the listeners. And being that I'm also a writer, I know HOW things should be read. I know how to explore the many different ways a script can be read. I may not have technical training, but I have a gift in my voice that has been developed by actually working in the industry for the past 9 years. I know great copy when I read it, I know how to write great copy and I know how to make poorly written copy sound great! Additionally, I currently have 12 t.v. commercials airing in St. Louis where I'm featured as the spokesperson for St. Louis Community Credit Union. (videos available upon request)
