The Night Owl
Voice-Over
Announcer,
Audio Producer / Editor
Why do I call
myself "Night Owl"? With the last name of
"Hooten," my family has always had a
fondness for owls. And I'm a bit of a night
person. It's not uncommon for my clients to
notice their projects were delivered at 2
AM.
I've been making my living with a microphone
and a word processor for the better part of
three decades. Of course, thirty years ago I
used a typewriter and reel-to-reel tape
deck. In fact, my first news stories were
written on a manual typewriter, and
hey, that wasn't THAT long ago!
Most of my career has been in radio
broadcasting, but I also toured the country
as a game show host for a few years. In
Reno, I often MC'd shows and events for
local casinos.
Since 2010 I have been a full time
freelancer. Sometimes I miss the excitement
of doing live radio and being around fellow
broadcasters. Radio people are fun to work
with. On the other hand, I enjoy the freedom
of working at home on my own schedule.
From my home studio I produce voice-overs,
edit podcasts, and narrate audio-books. A
few years ago I started writing books, too.
My English Teacher mom would be so proud.
