enroll. This can be having a VO demo already, having auditioned for VO
jobs, or worked as a VO actor and just looking for more direction. Darren
"Doc" Roubinek, from Fasone & Partners, will act as your the client and

*Darren "Doc" Roubinek*- Copywriter…Producer…Creative Director…Ad Guy at
Fasone & Partners since 1989. Over that time he has probably averaged
writing/directing 150+ TV and radio spots a year. He has done a lot of
goofy, cheesy things in front of the mic. He has had offended sensibilities
and had spots banned from the airwaves. He's helped regular people sound
like stars. He has worked with kids, dogs and Chinese translators and sold
a lot of cars. What he knows for certain is that some voice over talent
makes his job easier, and some makes it tougher. But there are no bad
talents, only lazy writers/producers.

*Deana Winter*- Graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2002 and
started working for Wheeler in September of 2003. Her fine arts background
has come in handy with keeping the studio filled with both local art and
her own art. When the new location was built, she was put in charge of the
interior design. Wearing multiple hats is the only way to keep the office
running. She helps in looking for a music searches or just want to know
what is going on in the studios. She helps with estimates, scheduling,
billing questions, music searches, lunch requests, master file look-up,
radio spot distribution - the list goes on....
When she is not managing the front office, you might find her running for a
political office, hanging an art show, volunteering for the City of
Riverside, installing plumbing under the house with her husband or carting
her daughter around to various dance competitions.
