Akiba Howard’s Summary
For the past 10 years I have worked on the periphery of the television business. I started off with a wonderful job as the Host/Narrator of the short form info-mentary Of Time and Timber. From there, I worked in local commercials and maintained my steady work doing Voice Overs both from my home studio for international clients, as well as from numerous production houses here in Sacramento.
Simultaneously, and to pay the bills, I have been running a number of personal businesses, including a virtual tour company, an internet consulting and design service, and an online marketing service.
Now, I find myself with an opportunity to grow and develop in the field I feel most comfortable in, broadcast journalism, and I look forward to the opportunity.
