My Voice Experience

I started off working for the New Zealand Government when I was 15years old.I started off as a Junior and gradually worked my way around to being a Secretary for a NZ firm, where of course Professionalism was a must. My ethnic background meant that I was raised speaking two languages 24/7. Later on in life I learnt Japanese, and my first marital status took me to the country where I was totally immersed in the culture and language, and I did many tour guiding work along with translating work for the Japanese Government and also the Public sector.
During my time spent in Japan, I also taught the song and dance of my native Maori and have been on the Japanese television on numerous occassions,mainly in documentaries. I read,write,speak,sing and cry in all 3 of my languages...I am now starting on learning Spanish,as I have heard that the vowels of my Native Maori are the same, just like Japanese.

My Training

On many occassions throughout my life in New Zealand, Japan,Australia and the United States, I have been asked to tell of our Maori folk tales to children and adults,and I am a very good story teller.
I have also been a guest speaker for many associations such as UNICEF, and for the JET Programme 6 years running in Japan,along with hosting New Zealand Cultural days around the world.
I am also a natural singer/performer in all 3 languages,performing at a drop of a hat anywhere in the world.
