My first voice over experience was the message-on-hold for a small Iowa company. I then recorded a 45 minute engineering presentation for the steel company for which I worked. I was also on their automated phone system offering numerical direction to various departments.
Since 2001, I've been the exclusive voice for the auto dealership where I was previously employed and have been doing the announcer voice for the entire group in the Florida, North Carolina, Milwaukee and the Chicago area.
I've also done some local radio spots for friends and their businesses.
I am also a Lector at my church and have done readings for the nationally broadcast Catholic Masses on TV.
I have no formal training. My desire to do it at all comes from my opinion of others and knowing in my mind that I could do it better.
I'm not that overly critical, but I have confidence that I can deliver a solid story, understood by most!
I currently have easy access to one of the local radio stations' equipment and producer.
