Expertise
For over 25 years, I`ve announced hundreds of TV radio commercials, narrated hundreds of videos/films for cable TV, museum tours,corporate and educational uses. I am one of the most well known voiceover coaches in the U.S. and have trained and counseled careers of voiceover talents now heard worldwide. Students travel from all over the world for my expert advice and training in announcing-narrating. I am a recording studio owner and audio engineer in Dallas Texas. I produce commercials there along with audiobook projects and voiceover demos. Much misinformation is "out there" about becoming a voiceover talent. The ability to voice projects is a wonderful way to augment one`s income at all ages and stages of life. This field knows no age! People can voice projects anywhere on earth if there is a recording studio there! And today, we simply send voiceover work as an MP3 file attached to an email, thus permitting us to work for clients worldwide! We live in a "talking world." Toys, greeting cards, telephones--everything talks--that`s what we voiceover talents do and it`s a wonderful field. I am degreed with two masters and a ph.d (minus dissertation) and have taught college courses many times. I am a Simon and Schuster non-fiction audiobook author (Speaking Effective English - WomanSpeak - CommercialSpeak and other titles).
