Available to hire
I’m David Strickland, a voice talent and broadcast professional with 30+ years of experience as an award-winning public speaker, announcer, and host/MC. I’m comfortable engaging live audiences, managing crowd flow, and delivering polished on-air performances—whether I’m hosting a game show in local restaurants or guiding listeners through an afternoon radio program.
I also bring award-winning copywriting and production experience to every project I touch, from radio commercials and multimedia voice work to video and audio setup for events. Alongside my voice and hosting work, I’ve built hands-on expertise in audio/video/lighting and practical production, plus 35+ years creating marketing materials. I enjoy collaborating with others and pay close attention to detail, whether I’m producing content, running show equipment, or supporting youth and adults as a counselor/driver.
