Voice Description

My voice delivery can vary from high energy to sultry & sexy. My voicemail recordings are very friendly and welcoming without sounding boring and bland. My sound is warm, smooth, fun, and memorable.

I have a state of the art home studio with a stellar mic and pro-tools editing software. My ability to produce high quality audio productions quickly is definitely a plus. I even have the capability to record phone calls if that suits your audio needs.

My Voice Experience

I have been the voicemail voice for the Rosemont Theatre and Allstate Arena since 1995.

My voice also has been prominent on Chicago radio stations for two decades. Currently, I am an on air personality at WTMX "The Mix" in Chicago - the USA's leading adult contemporary radio station. Prior to WTMX I spent 8 years as a radio personality at 97.9 WLUP "The Loop". Other radio stations where you may have heard my voice (since 1986): WRCX,WIIL,WCFX. I also was news anchor/sidekick on the syndicated Kevin Matthews Morning Show in 1995. My radio jobs have included On Air Personality, News Anchor/sidekick, Program Director, Production Director, Promotions Director, traffic reporter.

I've done many voiceovers and commercials at my radio jobs. Through my own buisness CARA COMMUNICATIONS I have done plenty of narrations, voicemail recordings, messages on hold, radio station imaging, video voiceovers, internet voiceovers, etc.

I am also a seasoned interviewer and emcee. I often emcee charity concerts and events. I host a podcast called CARA'S BASEMENT where I interview celebrity entertainers.
