A Boring Story
When I was a kiddo, Radio and TV announcers amused me.
In the beginning, I used to mock them. I then imitated a few.
Finally, I became one. It all happened organically.
It was a time of change or evolution maybe. It was the late
70s, the “Disco Era” and I admit, I loved that shi&#%!
I meant, that sound. Bee Gees, Michael Jackson, KC & the
Sunshine Band, Madonna, Hall & Oates, Duran Duran,
Culture Club, David Bowie, Prince, The B-52’s, etc.
The good all days, when the seeds of the first DJ‘s were
sown. Yes, I spun acetate records in the early 80s. My gear
was Technics 1200 MK2 turntables and a Numark DM1090X.
Years later, a cosmic accident (we all know that crap doesn’t
exist.) I auditioned for a Radio position and thank God
(He does exist.) I landed my embryonic life’s dream, “Radio Jock.”
One day while at work, one of the producers asked me to
voice a promo. Something new materialized! Yup, after another
accident (I told you I didn’t believe in that.) I began voicing for
Radio. I did so for the FM Center Group. At the time they ran three
frequencies in town. That was in Caracas, Venezuela. Did I
mention that? Well, this guy, by accident again, broadcasted for
all three frequencies, Hot 94.1 FM, La Romantica 88.9 FM,
and the most fun of all three, Fiesta 106.5 FM. The latter gave
me prestige and recognition propelling me into the town’s jet set.
Glory! (No bull.)
As technology advanced, l evolved into a “Multitasking Hot
Studio Jock.” Meanwhile, another calamity! This was a crazy one.
No fiction. I was pulled out of a live-street broadcast truck
straight into a TV studio. Sounds like a story from India.
On-camera talent. Aha! And just like that, I wore a different hat
again. I turned into a TV host. Life is full of surprises. Lol 😊
While there, I also performed as an anchor voiceover. They squeeze
the crap out of me. That’s the price I pay for being young and
enthusiastic. What about Cable TV? Yes, I did that too. Thus,
all of that lives in the past now. Wow, what a ride!
What you just read was an episode of my life that lasted 15 years.
Now, back to the USA. Here, I voiced for cable channels like MGM
Latin America. I have worked for several advertising agencies,
and their clients, among them are Turnstiles Advertising, Leo Burnett,
J. Walter Thompson, McCann Erickson, Zubi Advertising, and tons
of Independent Producers from the Radio and TV.
These are clients I branded for: Miami Seaquarium, Gloria Estefan,
Nissan, Astra Zeneca, Showtime, Hyundai, Sony, Toyota, Helene Curtis,
Castrol GTX, Havoline, DirecTV, Palm Treo, Comcast, Smoothie King,
and many more…
I‘m bored already. Sorry, I know…Enough with the history.
What am I doing today? With the fast swiftness of technology,
I had to evolve again. I edit videos for Digital Media.
I am an Adobe Premiere Pro Certified Editor. I am also a sound engineer.
I can help you build a storyboard, and shoot/direct a TV or
Digital Media ad in little, or no time. So, I can help you build your
dream project of a video ad come true from the ground up.
That’s it for now! Thanks for stopping by. I hope we meet soon.
I want to work with you. Go ahead, and don’t hesitate to shoot me an email.
