Voice Description

My natural speaking voice is somewhat quirky, so it's been a perfect match for character voiceover work, but I can also give you a unique sound for commercial copy. My voice works well with warm reads for commercial copy or narration. I have expanded my range and can go much smoother and a bit deeper when I need to "age up" for more straight ahead commercial work, or wry and cool for young adult copy.

English is my native language, but I speak Spanish very well. I also can do a Standard British accent.

My Voice Experience

Most recently, in the commercial world I booked a job for US Cellular.

In the world of animation, I am the voice of Kari - the babysitter in the PIXAR film "The Incredibles," & in their short film "Jack Jack attack," and was also a part of the loop group for "The Incredibles."

In PIXAR's film, "Monster's Inc.," I was the voice over talent for miscellaneous kid monsters. And in CarToons, I was the voice of a helicopter.

My Training

For the last six years I have been studying voiceover at Voicetrax under the expert direction of Samantha Paris, as well as taking ongoing theatre classes at Berkeley Repertory Theatre. I am an animator at PIXAR and have been working there for the past 14 years.

I have a B.A. in Performance/English from Oberlin College and an MFA in Performance and Film from the EDDC - a graduate school based in The Netherlands.

I have been a performance artist for the past 20 years.
