Voice Description

My work has successfully included the entire range of vocal presentation, including high energy reads for auto dealerships, standard reads for documentaries, and romantic reads for tourism agencies. I have a real interest, though, in interpreting script in an honest, engaging style that "involves" the listener.

My Voice Experience

After my long experience as a studio voice-over talent, I have become easily directed. I have succeeded in an industry that requires as much listening ability as it does vocal expertise. In addition, I owned and operated an advertising agency for many years and directed talent from the "other side" of the booth. The combination of experiences has served me and my clients well.

Advertising major and long-time advertising agency head
Community theater
Workshops in "Oral Interpretation"
Sought after Master of Ceremonies and live presenter

Additional Skills

In addition to reading others' work, I have written and recorded hundreds of scripts for clients and am proficient in communicating their messages. I am able to read for both Union and Non-union projects.
