TRAINING
| On The Job Training | I did scratch tracks, explainer videos, case study videos and VO for TV and radio for 20 years. Throughout, I received hands-on training and tutoring from audio engineers, talent, agents and vocal coaches in real world situations, which was invaluable. |
| Second City Improv training | Multiple courses taken with Second City instructors (Chicago, IL and SF, CA- USA) forced me to change perspectives and develop empathy for characters in real time, which is a valuable skill in shifting from character to character within a single job, and/or from job to job. |
| LinkedIn Learning- Adobe Audition certification | Still learning but knowing how to listen to your own voice and adjust to make an engineer's job easier is definitely a skill more Voice Actors need to learn. |
