My Voice Experience

In the late 70s did voicemail greetings in English for my department at the Mexican Petroleum Institute in Mexico City - my employers wanted to impress their international callers and hoped that a bilingual approach would do the trick.

Also did bilingual (Spanish and English) voiceover narrations for several of the Institute's films to promote their work both at home and overseas.

My Training

Voiceover Training Course with Jean-Paul Orr in West London, UK. 2005.
Drama workshops in Mexico, 1980s, and at University in England, 1993-96. Drama experience 3 years in Mexico City and Hong Kong.

My Studio Equipment

USB Studio Condenser Microphone.

Additional Skills

I acquire foreign languages with ease, and apart from fluent Spanish, Italian and French, I have some knowledge of Greek, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic, Cantonese, and Russian. All without trace of an English accent. I read Greek and Cyrillic. I am well-read and widely-travelled so have no difficulty with name pronunciation either of people, places, or within various technical disciplines.

I've had a varied professional career: English teacher; singer in Hong Kong; semi-professional actress; Vietnamese Refugee Camp coordinator; American Red Cross flood disaster coordinator; translation coordinator in Mexican Petroleum Industry; UK financial adviser; UK proofreader and editor for IT and telecommunications material; in-home carer for Alzheimer's sufferer.
