Picture it, Sonoma County, 1982. Someone was wise enough to give me a stage and a microphone for the first time... I brought the house down with my personalized rendition of "Pennies from Heaven"... and a star was born... I was 2. Over the years I spent much of my time on the stage through school and community drama clubs. From bit parts to lead, the need to be on stage was so great that I didn't care how I got there. A few years later I went to school for advertising and found myself, instead, producing the talent, rather than doing the performing. After almost 7 years doing that, I finally got off my duff and called our favorite local SAG actress/Acting Coach and asked (read: begged and pleaded with lots of tears) every so nicely if she would do me the great honor of showing me the ropes in the world of voice over. She did me better than that! She privately trained me for 6 months, and helped produce my demo. Most recently I have recorded for the LifeConnect software sales presentation that is presented on their website. Also, provided 15 different character voices for Lunarparcel Media, who is doing the English voice over dub for an animated children's bible. Lastly, for the Warren Company, Sonoma County Real Estate, I provided their outgoing voicemail message.

If my 'sound' is close to what you want, tell me what to change and I'm sure we can make it happen. When I first stared college, I was a biochemistry major, and worked for many years in both a Psychotherapy and Orthopedic Surgery offices, and so therefore am very comfortable with medical terms. The ad agency that I was with for nearly 7 years had a huge Political client base, and I am very comfortable with these type of reads.
