Voice Acting, Podcast Production, Songwriting, Blogging
I am a lifelong musician and producer. I have always been involved in music from the age of 3. I own a state of the art sound studio from which I produce and edit all types of media. I am a talented writer and podcast enthusiast. I have recently begun production of my own podcast Audio Drama. My voice acting career is also new and going great. I have started by practicing on social media and the response has been really inspiring. My voice acting reels were rated by a professional and now viral voice actor as being "excellent". I believe that I have the perfect skillset and POV to analyze media related data. I have 3 boys that I love spending time with so working from home dramatically increases the amount of time that I am able to spend with them. This is why I gave up a 6 figure career to pursue jobs that I can do from home.
