Voice Description

Vocally I am a majestic soprano. I can have a sexy, full-body sound for sultry moments or a sophisticated and intelligent narrative. I can be light and invoke my internal valley-girl (there is one in ALL of us!) with many giggles to boot (I do SOOO love to laugh!!), or I can be the mommy and read a fairytale with voices for each character.

Commercial copy is no problem as I also read quickly and accurately for a cool, no nonsense information piece or IVR.

Additional Skills

I am a happy person! I love doing my job and you can tell. I have been singing and performing on the stage since I was a child. I teach singing lessons and do voice work with stage actors.

I have worked at many, many jobs in my life as I find the world an interesting place. I have worked in surgery with a veterinarian, I have transcribed numerous things, I have worked as an assistant Speech Language Pathologist (THAT makes you aware of language I tell you what!), I have done security (they LOVED my "BIG voice" as they called it) and I have managed a bar, just to name some. I take something away from everything I do and I always give one hundred percent.
