After working for 31 years in two states as a School Psychologist and Counselor (kindergarten through college levels), I entered the entertainment industry in 2012. I started my own business, SHEBA ENTERPRISES, and began to broaden my performance skill ability in the areas of Acting (on-camera, TV, film) and Voice Over Acting.
I have done professional presentations for organizations. I also served as the president of a local non-profit organization dedicated to helping voice over actors get started in the industry and enhance broadcast and non-broadcast skills.
I gained broadcast skill experience on radio and in narration through my affiliations with several local radio stations where I delivered numerous PSA's and commercials.
My ability to take direction and work well with others resulted in my gaining a reputation as a team player. My creativity, maturity, organizational skills, dedication to station projects and commitment to excellence were recognized by management, and resulted in frequent assignments as "show host". Recognition of my proficiency in the areas of production and narration resulted in the opportunity to deliver a weekly feature segment covering topics related to voice over, health, and fitness. I gained a reputation as a voice over actor who could be counted on to deliver a "quality" product in a timely manner.
My educational history includes a B.A. Degree (Psychology), 2 - M.A. Degrees (Clinical Psychology, Educational Psychology), M.S. Degree (Counseling Psychology); and, Ph.D (Philosophy). I have worked 35 years as a Licensed School Psychologist and College Level Counselor, and owned businesses (Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Actor/Model).
I have taken numerous acting classes to broaden my performance skill ability, and participated in associations to increase my skills in the voice-over industry.
I completed ACX Audiobook Recording Master Class (David Lawrence & Dan O'Day) in order to strengthen skills in narration, performance, recording, and editing software (Audacity).
I will be recognized in "Top 100 Industry Experts in America Magazine" (Covington "Who's Who", National Association of Distinguished Professionals, Fall 2014). And, I will be recognized in "ICE Magazine" as a Pinnacle Professional for 2014 (Continental Who's Who of Top Professional Women).
I have my own home recording studio, can interpret copy, and use Audacity and Sound Forge. My equipment includes Apple MacBook Air and Audio-Technia (AT2020USB) Microphone. I can edit and finish voice tracks, and deliver audio files via email/cloud.
I also have access to professional studios in order to provide a full array of acoustic and digital instrumentation resulting in the highest quality audio product.
I approach any project with a strong work ethic and strive for the highest level of excellence. I work well individually or with others, am a good listener, and value constructive input.I have facility with mental health and educational terms. I am also willing to experiment with styles and ideas.
