I
have always had a passion for creating something … anything.
Then the summer between my junior and senior year in high
school, I was offered a fabulous opportunity to do a Summer
Honors program at Indian State University in radio, television
and film. Once I walked into the radio station I knew I had
come home. From there I went on to earn a Bachelor or Arts
degree in Broadcast communications from Otterbein College
in Westerville, Ohio in 1989.
However,
it wasn't just enough to be "the voice." I wanted
to know how to work the magic in the studios that took someone's
voice, some music and few sound effects and create something
that grabs people's attention and hangs on for dear life.
So in 1986 I went to The Recording Workshop and studied audio
production, mixing, trouble shooting and maintenance and then
went back in 1992 to study some of the new technology that
had evolved.
Never
one to let time pass me by I am currently enrolled in the
Art Institute On Line (affiliated with the Pittsburgh Art
Institute) and am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Advertising.
I
have worked in radio for 12 years in a variety of formats
ranging from Oldies to Adult Contemporary to Eighties. In
that time I have done it all; overnight, mid days morning
co-host and news. In that time I have written and produced
commercial spots, public service announcements, promos and
liners. In addition I produced two short form news programs
ranging in topics from pet care to general public service.
What
kind of voice do you want to represent you? Sophisticated?
Elegant? Conversational? Professional? Hard sell? Soft sell?
Anyone can read a script you hand her but if you are looking
for a voice talent that will work with you to determine the
best approach for your audience then you have come to the
right place.
