My Voice Experience

We recently used Barbara~Ann, her soft tonality and slight NY accent is beautiful. A soft sell is what works best here. What might take you a few more minutes in directing, will be compensated by her incredible humility and natural timbre.
Radio Talent - Mar 30, 2009

The microphone loves Barbara-Ann's voice and even better, I believe that she is a safe pair of hands for radio. Barbara-Ann is a great asset to Hospital Radio Chelmsford. Therefore, it goes without saying this also means that any commercial or BBC station would also be very lucky to have her on their team of presenters. Mark Willis Duty Officer, Sundays, Hospital Radio Chelmsford

Warm, sophisticated - the sound of New England in the UK. Highly professional and always recommended.

Additional Skills

Radio Presenter at Hospital Radio Chelmsford, where I did a Breakfast Show on Saturday Mornings with Phil Meacham of BBC Essex.

My experience as an Associate Producer for The George Allen show was exciting and allowed me to use my creative side.
Working among professionals in the Television Industry, gave me a natural feel for post production work.

My experience volunteering for MDA in Rhode Island as a Presenter and Public Speaker often with little notice has prepared me for thinking on my feet and performing professionally in front of a live audience,with or without a TV camera present.

A former Miss Petite Rhode Island USA, and Former Miss Amity of the Miss Rhode Island, USA Pageant gave me the start to speaking in public and presenting. This is where stage presence and voice training began.
