I have been told for years that “with that voice, you should be on the radio, or you should be a DJ” etc.  I never took it seriously and did not know how to get into any of those careers anyway.  I forgot all about that career and concentrated on photography, which I had been doing for a number of years.  I enrolled  into the Computer Networking Technology  program at  Ranken Technical College.  As a result of receiving my Associates degree there, I was able to begin employment with a local outsourcing business and eventually became an Associate Trainer, training new hire agents in internet connectivity and customer service in order to support customers over the telephone. 

There came a time that I was asked to put my voice to training modules for the company to which I jumped at the chance.  I was not paid any additional salary for my efforts but the thought came to me that if I can do voice-overs for them for free, I could do them for myself and keep the money.  I decided to take voice-over lessons at  Clayton Studios located in St. Louis MO, learning how to interpret script, how to take care of my voice instruments, and how to promote myself.  I developed a professional demo that ran on the website of the studio and it wasn’t long before I was called to audition for a local credit union and did my first 60 second  radio commercial.  The rest is history. 

I have found a career that is fun and challenging and continue to grow clients and build my resume along the way.
