I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)
Voice Actor
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
As a little kid I remember sitting on my bed with my Fisher Price cassette recorder. I spent hours and hours recording my own voice, even though I didn't like my voice, but I loved the idea of talking into the microphone or being on the radio. After my voice deepened, people started telling me how much they liked my voice and how calming it is.
My experience started as an airshow announcer in my early 20s. My first narration was terrible. My friend Dale Michael Brisson took my under his wing and helped calm me down and gave me tips on how to make live announcing sound natural and professional. The highlight of that was narrating our act right after the USAF Thunderbirds demonstration team flew. In 2004 I had the privilege to narrate a portion of the Showcase fly-bys at AirVenture Oshkosh. In 2006 I narrated a missionary flight demonstration at Oshkosh with Steve Saint and a Piper J-3 Cub.
These days I work in a call center. I have been told numerous times I have a very professional voice.
Really, I'm here to learn, feel free to give advice, tips, etc. More demos coming soon.

Thanks for the note. I'm doing well. When you're at OshKosh, say "hello" to my youngest brother Ken if you happen to see him there. Enjoy your weekend.
