My Voice Experience
After a year with Voice 123, I feel confident recording anything sent to me. I just finished an intensive day on voiceover for audiobooks, and was encouraged to make a CD to mail to publishers. I have done public speaking all my life. As a musician, I ran many workshops; lectured, wrote parodies (which I performed) as well as taught one on one for years. I love reading out loud, and have done this at some elementary schools and libraries, as well as for my own kids and grandkids. I was a children's docent for 6 years at The Southwest Museum in Los Angeles. Now, as an actor on stage and in TV and film, I have even more opportunities to speak---in many different ways.
I was chosen, by a professional VO talent, to do a radio spot, which was the beginning of my voiceover career. He picked me because he said I had "the perfect older woman voice." Soon afterwards he created my VO demo reel, and set me up with home recording equipment.
Following a VO casting director session, I was immediately brought in for an audition by one of the top CDs in Los Angeles. I have booked several projects for Voice123. A couple were for commercial products; one was for a non-profit organization which helps impoverished children. I was also hired to be "a mean, old woman" for a Halloween haunted house!

Additional Skills
I am fully grounded in the arts. I enjoy story telling, teaching, and public speaking. I am an excellent writer, and I can whip off a humorous sonnet with no trouble! I draw. I've written a one-act play.
I'm an unusual woman in that, at an age where many are considering retiring, I have plunged boldly into a new and challenging career. I gave up music in order to "follow my bliss" and pursue a lifetime dream of acting. I now dedicate myself 100% to what I do. I am stubborn, fearless, hard working, and totally committed.
I'm a mother and grandmother. I've worked a lot with children, as teacher and docent. I'm gregarious, and love meeting people. I think of myself as a combination of traditional and non-traditional. I'm a great cook, a fine decorator, a vigorous and health conscious exerciser. AND I'm a dedicated and hard working actor!
