My Voice Experience

My main work has been as voice talent for Countrywide Financial Corporation, providing the voice over for training courses and informative presentations. I have been featured in more than 30 courses and 5 company-wide presentations since 2004.

I have also provided character voices for a local independent company in North Texas(Tempest Productions) on short films and documentaries since 1993.

My Training

I took acting classes at Brookhaven College from 1987 - 1989, worked with/directed street theatre groups (Scarborough Renaissance Festival) and several a cappella vocal ensembles (Omni Consort, Omni Carolers, Rapid Transit, Queen Anne's Lace) since 1989. Also sang briefly with North Texas neo-Celtic group Ravens.

Additional Skills

I have a strong background in written communications. I also have an extensive background in writing/designing training. This, combined with my musical background, helps me interpret and pace my readings.

In addition, I am strong in improvisational theater, which means I'm not afraid to try new sounds, accents, or voices.
