Voice Description

My passion is using my voice in myriad ways...from warm, girl-next-door and mom-like for commercials and podcasting; to sexy and inviting for tv shows, movies, trailers and commercials; to elegant and sophisticated for phone messages, presentations and commercials; to professional and authoritative for corporate work and documentaries; to vigorous, fun and energetic for promos; to deep and expressive for narrations.

I also have a great love for character work...from baby-like voices, to toddler-like voices to old-lady-like voices; from voices that are unique and unusual that can be used for anything from fruit and vegetable characters to animal characters to non-descript characters. I will create a character voice specific to your needs.

Additional Skills

Voice-over is part of me. I take each and every word spoken and look at it as it's own 'country'. It is an art that I am so passionate about, that I've found a way to incorporate it into my life through podcasting, as well as all the other avenues in which I use my voice. I not only record and conduct guest interviews, but I also oversee the final production with editing and placement, resulting in a heartfelt, compelling and compassionate audio event. To be a vehicle in this mission, whereby I am able to help others while using my voice, is a true blessing.
I sincerely view voice-over as an art, and I treat it as such, being honored to be the artist.
