Voice Description
Deep, rich and bass-heavy tone, perfect for narrations, commercials and promos that call for a warm and soothing, intelligent voice. Sexed up for more sensual and playful projects, or toned down for pieces that call for a more authoritative, professional, sophisticated and mature sound. Voice lends itself well to corporate presentations, phone directories... whatever your needs may be. Young, edgy, and raspy for youth-oriented projects.
I'm often sought out for jobs that are looking for an Allison Janney or Peri Gilpin style read.
I'm capable of a wide range of character voices and have a knack for impressions - which has put me in demand for video games and animation projects.
