Experience

The TMI (Too-Much Information) Page

Put my depth and breadth of voiceover and media experience to work for you.

After spending 12 years in the radio business, I left to start an independent commercial production company. This metamorphosed into Rustad & Robertson, Inc., a successful full-service advertising agency.

After several years, I left the agency and started Rustad/Wickhem Video, Inc. RW Video subsequently grew into the State’s largest (10,000 sq. ft.) independent video production/post-production facility. Major clients included the Miller Brewing Company, Kohler Company, Oscar Meyer, American Family Insurance, and more.

To handle our audio needs, we built an incredible master audio production suite, allowing me to stay in touch with my inner soundman and continue to voice commercials and narrations.

As the desktop video revolution began to displace large production/post-production facilities like ours, I sold out to my partners and moved on to the next big thing.

After more than a year of development, I launched an innovative (for its time) startup venture called: Computerized Audition Service for Talent (“CAST”). While ad agencies, talent agencies and producers liked the concept, my money ran out before the WWW really began to catch on. Today, many such services exist on the web.

Returning to the advertising/marketing field, I became an Account Rep. for a local advertising agency, and later moved on to become Director of Marketing for a statewide corporation – while continuing to freelance as a voice talent in my off hours.

Today, I earn my living as a full-time voice talent. This allows me to schedule voiceover sessions any time/any place - without having to agonize over the possibility of compromising my obligations to a primary employer.

Over a 30 year period, I’ve voiced thousands of commercials, hundreds of narrations, plus Information-On-Hold systems, automated voice prompts, Audio Books and more.

And to this day, the more I do it, the better I get! Honest!

I’d welcome the opportunity to put my well seasoned larynx to work for you.
