Voice Description
I have a mature, warm, friendly female voice that, as a spokesperson, can naturally convey any age range from mid-30's to quite elderly. A professional actress of 40+ years' experience, I also do a wide variety of character voices--from completely serious to off-the-wall zany. Samples of both can be found in the demos included here. I take direction very well and am especially adept at providing a wide variety of "reads, if that is what you are looking for.
