My short stint in Brockville was spent producing radio commercials and imaging, as well as recording and writing commercial content. I also hosted live and voice-tracked on-air shifts on 103.7 BOB FM and 104.9 JRFM, and represented the two stations at local functions.

2014 - Nov 2019
Along with my colleague Robert Bockstael, we have designed and implemented courses at The Acting Company that all centre around one thing: audio recording and voiceover. Introductory classes show people the basics of voiceover work and voice recording, as well as how to create your own home studio and how to break into the business. Cartoon and Character classes focus on finding and developing vocal quirks and accents to create fully-fleshed characters that can be used as part of your "vocal toolkit" for future recording jobs. Radio Play classes give students the ability to combine work done in either (or both) of the previous classes to create an engaging, fun piece of work to entertain and captivate any audience.

I think a shorter description would be to describe what I *didn't* do in Sudbury! I worked as a producer, announcer (live and VT), board-op, remote technician and host, writer, music scheduler and receptionist. I really learned "the ropes" from this gig, as well as in Brockville.
