What do MTA New York City Transit, Newark Liberty International Airport, Virginia DOT, Econolite and the New York State Thruway all have in common? Each has used my voice to clearly and professionally communicate information to their customers. Whether it's announcements in a busy Manhattan train station, voicing a complex IVR phone system or narration of a video or PowerPoint presentation I was able to use both my transportation experience and the skills I've developed as a broadcaster to make these organizations sound their best. Please visit www.bwcommunications.net to learn more and to hear examples of what I can do for your organization.
