For big jobs, my specialty is self-help or motivational audio books. I have completed three audio books to this point, and while I have done voice mail systems, readings for ESL classes, and a variety of other recordings, audio books are what I enjoy most. When not involved in recording an audio book, I like to do instructional audio materials for business or education. These tend to be much shorter, and I can use them to fill in the gaps. I do not apply for these jobs while working on an audio book. Please note that when I send audio files, they are edited, polished, and ready to publish. I should also note here that, although I now live in Ecuador, English is my native language. However, I do speak Spanish moderately well, and can read it very clearly, albeit not with a native accent. Natives say that my Spanish is very easy to understand. Depending on the script and the need, I can sound authoritative, guy-next-door, friendly, serious, and believable. I have a strong scientific and technical background, and can read technical material in a way that is easy to understand. If the script is right, I can have a lot of fun with a hillbilly accent!
