Writing, editing, and voiceovers are the areas where I excel the most. I also do audio and video editing, and graphic design at a professional level. My primary voice for voiceovers is male, North American English, clear, bold, and dynamic, yet warm and engaging. I hold a Diploma in Broadcasting Communications from Western Academy, and I specialize in writing and voice work for commercials. I also have 15 years of experience in event coordination and seven years experience as a department manager.
