My Voice Experience

I have narrated twelve audiobooks for Books On Tape/Random House, including Stern Men, by number one bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert. I received an Earphones Award from AudioFile Magazine in September '09 for "On the Divinity of Second Chances" by Kaya McLaren. The majority of my work however, is in Young Adult novels where I read for a number of children's voices. I have lent my voice to webseries and several video demos. I am the spokesperson for Getthere website using a British Accent and I have sang on demo jingles for Just For Men, Fixodent Denture Cream. I have also sung back-up vocals on two rock albums. For theatre, I recorded voiceovers for plays, including a Cate Blanchett impersonation from Lord of The Rings for an original work, "Karaokolypse Wow".

I just completed commercial VO prep at Kalmenson and Kalmenson and am currently studying with Richard Tatum at Absolute VO LA in Santa Monica, CA. I have been privately coached in LA by voiceover actor, Alex Polinsky developing characters for animation and skills for commercial copy. I coached privately by Sandy Holt for looping. In New York City, I have taken private coaching from Shut Up and Talk with Julian Rebolledo and Sean Elias-Reyes. I have a degree in Theatre and studied for three years at the prestigious T.

I have taken VO seminars at Actor's Connection in NY that were geared towards training and marketing in the VO industry.
