about [me]

My passion is words.
I love the way they look, the way they sound, and what they mean. Words are symbols. They’re what we use to express thoughts and emotions, either in writing or in speaking. We achieve effective communication when what I say and what you hear are the same thing.

Grammar (proper word usage and punctuation) is a tool of a writer’s trade.

We appreciate other professionals who respect their tools— surgeons and mechanics, for instance. That level of integrity should be no different for writers.

I love the nuance of words as in the difference between simple and easy. Writing is simple: Combine any of 26 letters to make a word or two. Writing is not always easy, though.

Keyboards don’t have inflection keys but the human voice can express authority and articulate a smile. There certainly are differences between writing and speaking, such as the silent l in almond and t in often.

Voice-over work involves more than a pleasant vocal quality. It’s a form of communication in itself, similar to acting. When I’m reading a client’s copy, I must convey the message to an audience who is not reading along with the script. They have to hear what the client wants them to hear.
