My Voice Experience

With over 10 years behind the microphone in at least three languages, live radio is nothing new to me and so proper concise delivery with the right tone and mood comes easily. I have the uncanny ability to switch from English to French and back again on a whim.

My voice is semi-deep, warm and generally used to illustrate sincerity or slightly dramatic. Upbeat Documentary and technical narrations are a perfect fit for my talent. Also capable of delivering convincing Accentuated, punched, exhilarated and pressed voices. I can play many characters that are needed to individual spots requiring multiple voices.
