Voice Description

If my voice were a musical instrument, it would be a french horn. I have a wide pitch range and a nice, buttery, mellow sound for many kids of voiceover. I can do lots of different characters, both imitated and created. I can give you friendly, playful, young guy next door, cheesy announcer guy, matter-of-fact businessman, inspiring teacher, irritated taskmaster, or international accents galore. My English-speaking characters hail from different places in England (Cockney, Yorkshire, straight-forward British), Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia, France, Germany, Spain, Eastern Europe, Russia, China, Japan, India, Africa, Mexico, Canada, the American Southeast, Midwest, New Jersey, New York, Alaska, and many quaint places in between.

My Voice Experience

Though I have been acting for over twenty years, my foray into voice acting is fairly recent: just this year. I am fresh, enthusiastic, and willing to learn! Most recently, I voiced two different characters for an upcoming internet-based 3D-role-playing poker game: a brash Cockney and a Bogart/Cagney-30's-gangster type.

My Training

I started acting when I was 5. I was in church programs and school plays all the way through college, after which I joined Music Theatre of Idaho, our local music-theatre group, with whom I performed for eight straight years. My silly voices have gone along with that, almost from the beginning. Little boosts along the way have included a stage dialect workshop, a cartoon voice workshop with Pat Fraley, and a vocal symposium based around Dr. Robert Shewan's "Singing and the Brain." I have been singing longer than I have been acting, and I have been playing percussion since I was ten. To me, playing music, singing, acting, dancing, reading aloud, and making people laugh with funny voices are all connected -- almost like different aspects of one big art form.

Additional Skills

In addition to my theatrical and musical experience, I was also a teacher for seven years. I taught beginning band, junior high and high school band, jazz band, guitar, music history, music theory, and general music. In addition to my B.A. in music education, I have a master of music degree in percussion performance, so I understand principles of practice and perseverance.
