Radio Imaging for WQKX
This year, I was thrilled to be chosen as the female imaging voice for 94KX – a Pop station based out of Sunbury-Selinsgrove-Lewisburg, PA. I try to share my work regularly on Linkedin and as I was posting this morning (which you can read here) it occured to me that I should share on this fancy shmancy blog as well.
A NEW GENRE
I stumbled into radio imaging about 4 years ago almost by accident. A client of mine asked if I was interested in getting into it. As someone who is always interested in exploring other genres of voiceover, of course I said YES! Suffice it to say, I fell in LOVE 🥰. I can’t believe it took me this long into my career to discover this genre as my particular skill-set is so perfectly suited for it!
LEARNING AND MARKETING
I never do things half-way! I threw myself into learning as much as possible, creating fantastic demos (thank you Jay Helmus of Zippy Zappy Productions) and marketing those demos like crazy. Along the way, I was lucky enough to be signed to the Radio Imaging and TV Affiliate department at CESD and then brought on to the fabulous roster at Benztown. Things really started to take off from there and I feel like I am truly where I am supposed to be. I now have a handful of stations that I voice for and am quickly gaining interest and traction. 🎉
WHEN WORK FEELS LIKE PLAY
Why is this all so exciting for me? Look, I can’t say enough about how much I love being a voice actor. Every single voiceover job is a gift to me (ooh that kind of ties in to my branding doesn’t it? 🎁 ) but I am just having the time of my life with radio imaging and I’m a greedy little bugger–I want MORE! I spent many years training in Musical Theatre (thank you Syracuse University) and then performing on stages around the country. Radio Imaging allows me to access many of the skills I honed during those years: improvisation, character work, and even my sense of rhythm and tone. All of these skills allow me to offer a bit extra to stations looking to switch things up.
I get excited each time a radio imaging page to record lands in my inbox…and I don’t see that excitement dissipating any time soon. Below is a compilation of some of my work for WQKX for March–check it out!
