Best,

Thanks Lani...
Sorry for the prolonged suspense!
I started this wonderful journey back in 1995. I've been steadily training and practicing but remaining on the sidelines until this last September, when I lost my day job. As I fruitlessly searched for gainful employment, I suddenly had the time to check out the VO scene and start updating my bookmarks for online resources and what have you.
I had no intention of making any serious headway. But, to make a long story short, I found a company that provided some group training, tips and techniques for readings and script analysis, one-on-one coaching, a pile of marketing help and fully produced commercial and narration demos.
So, here I am, new to the business, but not to voiceovers. I've been creating characters and analyzing commercials most of my life. Voiceovers are my destiny, especially in this brave new world of the last 10-15 years.
Last February, I was completely under the impression that I would get another day job and pack the dream into a trunk again. My how things have changed since the beginning of March!
As my resources are limited, I will be perched on the sideline for further training and coaching opportunities. But I just got hired to be the motivational voice for a cardio workout machine. So, I'm a "working" voiceover professional now!!!!
Wish me luck and I will be looking to learn from you in the very near future, as soon as the wife gives me the O.K.!
Thanks for your support and expertise.
