These students have studied my book Speak Skillfully and Successfully:A Guide to Developing Diction and Voice-Over Excellence (McGraw-Hill, 2005) that I have co-authored with Lainie Frasier. This text is available in the UMHB Bookstore. As their schedules allow, these performance communication students are available as voice-over talent. For more information, contact me at UMHB.
