While my use of my voice has mainly been on the stage in community theater productions, I am also a member of the Those Were The Days Radio Players, a group who recreates old-time radio shows for various audiences. In that group, I have played Superman, the Lone Ranger, the Shadow, Digby O'Dell (the Friendly Undertaker), and dozens of other characters, as well as real-life radio comedian Fred Allen. In the "professional" field, I have read for CRIS Radio in Chicago, presenting newspaper articles and books for the blind, I have been the announcer for two AT&T cable television commercials, and while studying at the Illinois Center for Broadcasting, I interned at WRMN/WJKL in Elgin, where I produced more than one hundred radio spots.

This has so far been a summer of ups and downs. One particular down was me losing a wonderful job, but I'm using that as impetus to ever more aggressively go after voice work. To all who are struggling in this market and this economy, you have my support and encouragement to never give up and keep striving!
