Western (American), Indian (7/11 Taxi Driver, not Little Big Horn), light Brittish, Australian (given practice time - I lived there for 2 years and would need to brush up.), Mock Japanese (not real words, but sounds good); some Russian sounding words, some real, some not.

As a country music DJ for the last several years, I am described by many to be a contradiction in terms! Half of the fun of my life has been the cowboy boot wearing, country music loving MBA who was a stock broker for a number of years, and now makes a good living working in the world of manufacturing consulting for my full time gig. I have a very "folksy" voice and have created a weekly show that I host and narrate on the history of country music. I would gladly send you a copy of one of my shows at your request. I love what I do and can add value to your project as more than just a voice, if you would like. As it is, your needs come first, so let me know what you are after and I will deliver it to you in spades. I hold an MBA from a top 50 business school here in the United States. I have worked in sales for nearly a decade, and now I spend my days helping others to achieve their goals. I have been voice talent on AM and FM radio for the last three years, currently on air for about 12 hours each week on FM country radio, in the #31 market in the United States (Salt Lake City, Utah.) I am an award-winning speaker through the Toastmasters organization, and I consider what I do to be unconventional. I have acted on stage (years ago,) in addition to being on radio, and voice over, and I love to talk!! I focus each day on learning new vocabulary words, and getting stronger and stronger at what I do. My goals include becomming a member of the Country Music DJ Hall of Fame and I fully expect to get there one day. I have a full complement of equipment in the form of recording and editing. Right now I am using Adobe Auditions 2.0 and 3.0 and soon transitioning to Apple Mac. I also have a mixer and record player, tape player, CD player, MiniDisc Player / Recorder, and sound batting througout the studio for a rich, vibrant sound. I can do extensive, or light production work, adding in music tracks, sound effects, mixing, mastering, etc. I am equipped with ISDN capabilities and FTP internet file transfer, as well as broadcasting with the use of Audio TX Communicator software(audiotx.com - a Brittish company.) I can also record in any recognizable format and either email or snail mail whatever file format works for you. I am excellent at recording, editing, mixing and mastering, adding multi-tracks and sound effects, and making it all sound good, using Adobe Auditions. If there is something you can think of, I can probably produce it. I teach others how to fly airplanes as a hobby (flight instructor) and I am an accomplished businessman. If you want more than just a voice on the other end of the line, I would love to talk with you and maybe even help develop what it is you are needing for your project. I am a credentialled Project Manager (part of my love for telling others what to do:-) which means I can start and manage a project or task on time and under budget very easily. I am also a voting member of the Academy of Country Music (ACM,) and the Country Music Association (CMA.) Looking for the "guy next door?" Look no further. Have a listen and I know you will find me to be "easy on the ears." Give me a call and I'll set you up with demos and you can hear it all for yourself!!
