Additional Skills

A film/TV actress with a background in classical singing, I can voice a wide variety of scripts. Have been TV host for cable show: Business in St. Bernard, so a Reporter style is good. A New Yorker as an adult, but an Oklahoman (Okie) as a kid, I can sound quite upscale as well as pretty average American. My education in Music and Speech Pathology/Medical areas makes me well suited to educational, medical, technical texts. After years of singing in several languages, I'm also good with accents, storytelling and poetry. I love goofy characters:)

Public speaking: have been a college professor, so I'm comfortable giving lectures and know how to make them interesting.
