Most people can listen faster than they can read. As a professional voice talent, I love taking your words from the printed page and crafting them into a pristine recording that today's busy people can incorporate into their lifestyles, whether you need:

* audiobooks

Character voices are my specialty! What dialect do you need? If I don't know it, I can learn it!

Years of experience: 5-10 years

Prior to starting my voice-over business, I previously worked as a radio reporter for WCNN-AM, Atlanta. I also was a talent and producer at Georgia Radio Reading Service for 5 years.

When I started a part-time job at everyone's favorite government agency during high school, I never dreamed I would work there for 30 years! My dream was always to become a voice-over artist, so it was even more surprising that I worked in information systems (IS) positions. I worked as a programmer, programmer analyst, supervisor to the programming staff and finally a local area network (LAN ) / wide area network (WAN) / e-mail administrator.

My intense technical expertise has served me well in my voice-over career. I research, buy, install, maintain and operate the many pieces of equipment in my stunning studio. My clients love that I have an IT background as I am able to perform scripts aimed at IT audiences with complete credibility and authenticity!

I have the following education (cue "Pomp and Circumstance"):

MS, Computer Information Systems

BA, Radio and TV Journalism

AS, Radio and TV Broadcasting
