Voice Description

As a person who runs a company in New York, I have given many presentations and can maintain a professional and business-like voice.

As a comedian, I am able to do a fun and playful voice that can be played as either the straight man or the crazy man (or I should say woman).

I can do sexy and mysterious as my voice is deep and somewhat raspy but raspy in a good way and not the 80-year-old smoker for life kind of way.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Strangely enough, I can do a Maltese accent as I work for a Maltese company, however, I am not the best at accents. I can kind of do a Spanish/Italian speaking person trying to speak English as I work at an ESL school and hear foreigners learning English all day long!

My Voice Experience

The voice of the inner-workings of the mind of a crazy person in a sketch comedy to the female voice portion of a dialogue in a listening test for foreign students learning English recorded on Audacity. My voice over work has never been formal nor official, however, I've done it as a hobby for friends' comedy videos, sketches, and on-stage for improv.

My Training

I do not have any training in voice over work, however, I have taken on-camera commercial classes as well as improv comedy, sketch comedy, and sand-up comedy writing. I am currently woking on a children's book as well.

My Studio Equipment

I do not have my own studio equipment, however, my fiance is in the music industry so between him and his friends, I could have quite easy access to a studio and audio engineering knowledge.

I also have done some voice over stuff for a school where I had to record listening sections of tests using Audacity.

Additional Skills

I am currently a Center Director at an ESL (English as a Second Language) school in Times Square. Before this, I taught English in Costa Rica and Mexico. I have also held positions in sales, recruiting, and human resources.

My passion is performing comedy and writing. I have studied improv comedy, stand-up comedy writing, and sketch comedy and taken an on-camera commercial class as well.

I can do anything from silly and eccentric characters to professional, well-spoken, and all-business.

I've always been told that I have a "sexy" or "interesting" voice for a woman. It also enabled me to play some funny characters on stage during comedy shows.

I am currently working on a children's book as well as writing a one-woman show.

I believe my voice is unique, distinct, and useful across many genres.
