My Voice Experience

From audiobooks to online games to church productions, I have had the opportunity to enjoy creating characters with my voice. I love syncing my voice, from words to emotions, with a cartoon. Cold readings are my audition preference as an actor so it's great to work off a script and get it in just a few takes.
I may be fairly new to this side of the industry but with years of schooling and experience behind me, not to mention my husband's world-class recording studio and production capabilities, I believe I have the foundation for producing excellent voice overs.
