Voiceover, MC, Presenting
Clear pronunciation and diction, effective modulation for different audiences, emotional range to fit the message, breath control, technical skills for voice recording (ie familiar with using different types of mic, plus editing software and basics of sound engineering). Confident in front of small and large groups and presenting to camera. Can command a stage presence using body language, audience feedback is they find me relatable and authentic. Able to connect with audiences to make them feel what I'm sharing or sit up and think.
