HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
Started recording my own version of Hong Kong Phooey into my Toshiba Radio Shack tape recorder when I was 5 years old.
Appeared on Romper Room and pretended to fall asleep during the Sleepytime Song so the camera would do a close-up...they did! But Miss Susan never said my name when she looked into the Magic Mirror.
Worked on demos with Peter Rofe.

Glad you like the brand, Wayne. :) That was really a brainstorming session between myself and a graphic designer friend of mine. What you need to do is figure out what your sound evokes. Have fun with it. Go from there. Once you have the image for the sound, then you just build your brand around it. Obviously, that brand should be something that's complimentary to you. ;) I have a fair bit of an Internet Marketing background rather than traditional marketing, but if you ever want to chat in email about such things, feel free to let me know. Joining message boards and being on all the social networks can really help too (though you're obviously on some of them or you wouldn't be HERE, right? :D) Anyway, glad to connect! All the best, -- Jodi
