Voice Description

I have a naturally medium-low voice with a very wide range, enabling me to perform everything from spunky girls to sexy seductresses; smart-aleck cops to ruthless demons.

My Voice Experience

Having an active interest in voice overs for the past 10 years provided the motivation to apply for an internship at Columbus' NPR station in Ohio. For the last three years I have been gaining both experience and training in radio work, production and voice overs from the staff at WCBE 90.5 FM.

I have been in many online radio-dramas to date, providing voices for releases under many production companies, including BrokenSea Audio, Darker Projects, BSquared Audio, and Kung Fu Action Theatre.

I have also assisted in many amateur/student projects, and am currently producing an audio drama series for on-air listening with WCBE.

My Training

Am a certified Audio Engineer, having completed the Recording Engineering and Music Production program with honors at the Recording Workshop. Have also completed additional courses in Advanced Music Recording and NewTech/Post-Production audio editing.

I have two Bachelors of Music degrees from The Ohio State University (on in performance, another in history), as well as 5+ years experience with live improvisational acting and stagefighting in both Medieval/Renaissance Faires and community theatre.

Currently I assist at WCBE 90.5 FM, Columbus' NPR station. I have three years of intern/volunteer experience with them, and am currently receiving coaching for both voice-over work and audio production from the G.M. of the station.

My Studio Equipment

Microphones:
Shure SM-7
AKG 200 Perception
USB M-Audio Producer

Access to mixing console and recording studio available.

Digital Audio Workstation: Digidesign ProTools LE8

Also have access/experience with Cool Edit, Goldwave, Nuendo and Audacity.

Additional Skills

I have three years' experience in writing and mixing my own productions, from 30-second radio promos to full-length audio dramas.

I am also a musician and an arranger, with 15 years experience in music performance. This has given me a natural sense of timing and appropriate emotion/style within voice over projects.
