Broadcasting, Voice Over, Audio Production

For 13 years in San Diego and Atlanta, I voiced and produced advertising for commercial radio. I was one of a small team of production directors servicing up to 11 radio stations, with a wide variety of formats. I created a specialty music radio show, Jumpin' Like Mad, that I programmed, produced and hosted for three years. I've done voice work and audio production for everything from video games to on-hold messaging. I am also former Operations Manager for Global Public Media, an international online nonprofit media organization covering sustainability issues.

In 2001, I was contracted by a Russian game development company to provide script editing, voiceover and audio production for the English version of their hit PC game. I proofread, edited and corrected the 100 page script, auditioned and hired voice actors, completed all recording sessions and revisions, edited, produced and uploaded all of the audio files according to specifications, by deadline and on budget.

The company was so pleased with my work that they further contracted me to manage the localization of the game into German. I auditioned and negotiated contracts with the German voice production company before managing the voice recordings of the German script - and in the end I was asked to complete the production of the German voiceover files as well, even though I didn't speak a word of the language!

Even with challenges such as working with two different teams for whom English was a second language, the Russian company was obviously confident in my abilities to successfully manage their projects. Though I wasn't offering voiceover services on the scale that they required, in 2005 the company contracted me yet again to edit the much longer English script for the sequel to the original game.
