My voice is perfect for female animation rolls.

My Voice Experience

My voice over experience has recently begun. My dream has always been to be a cartoon character and to pursue this, I contacted Daniel Japlin from New York. He walked me through all the basics of being a professional voice over and couched me over the phone until we both agreed that I had perfected my voice over skills. I then went to Q Studios in Chicago, IL and worked with Adam "Sombionx" Nelson to create my demo (including 5 commercials, a narrative, and a child's story). Although I am new to this profession, I am extremely eager to work with other artists and I take criticism extremely well.

My Training

I received formal training from Daniel Japlin at the Chicago Voice-Over Success Program. Daniel is out of New York, therefore, I received most of my training over the phone. I then went to Q Studios in Chicago and worked successfully with the studio engineer to create my demo.

Unrelated to voice overs - I got my bachelor's in accounting at Purdue University in Lafayette, IN. I also became a licenced CPA (certified public accountant). I am eager to change career paths and I am open to any auditions.

My Studio Equipment

None

Additional Skills

I have taken many business courses and I have a day job where I work in an office. Because of this, I am very adept at working with a wide variety of personalities and I am able to take criticism very well.
