Voice Description

I have a consistent and well-trained singing and speaking voice with many possibilities ranging from playful to reserved, angelic to demonic, focused, flighty or anything in between for commercials, movies, cartoons, video games, and TV voice-overs.

My Voice Experience

I have loved playing with impersonations, voices, and various types of acting and improvisation for as long as I can remember. After playing a few minor roles, and then taking on the starring role of Sweeney Todd during 2006 and 2007, I was sold. I did my first voice-over for a short film starring Allison Mack from Smallville where I played a radio interviewer - and now I am ready for more!!

My Training

I have taken voice lessons with different teachers from the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. I also teach workshops and private lessons on singing, vocal instruments (trumpet, guitar, etc), beatbox, vocal percussion, and rhythm.
