Voice Description

I have a relatively adaptable voice. My natural voice runs in the baritone range, and apparently has a very pleasing cadence; when I answer the phone, people sometimes ask if I am a recording, and frequently tell me I have a "radio voice." However, I have also cultivated several different types of narrator/announcer and character voices, and can do everything from warm and soothing to deep and unsettling; from bold and brassy to high and slightly squeaky (once in the same project); from smooth and sexy to gawky and hesitant--or in a different direction, treacly and sleazy. I also can sing in a wide variety of character voices.

Additional Skills

I am happy doing very long reads as well as short introductions and commercial spots. I also have spent most of my life developing an ear for accents and vocal characterizations. Years of call center work has developed both my diction and endurance, and years of writing copy for advertising, corporate communication, public relations and college news columns has enhanced my ability to read and write copy.
