My Training

I have been studying under the guidance of Samantha Paris and her staff of fantastic instructors at Voicetrax, in the San Francisco Area since early in 2006. I have logged over 200 hours of classes including acting, improv, animation, dialogues, character development, self directing, etc. My training has prepared me to be a valuable asset to any producer, both in the quality of the voice, and the level of professionalism.

I have a degree in a scientific field so I am familiar and comfortable with technical or scientific copy.

My Studio Equipment

AKG 214 microphone
I use Amadeus Pro recording software

Additional Skills

I have a B.S. in a scientific field and worked in the pharmaceutical industry for several years and the aviation for a lot more years and therefore have a solid grasp of medical and scientific terminology... but one and two syllable words pose no threat either!

I am professional and understand that your time is extrememly valuable and I will do my part to make your job efficient.
