Voice Description

Subtle or exaggerated character voices, accents from all over the world. I've got a great ear for language, and speak Spanish fairly well, but can also do French with good accent. Aussie, Redneck, Professor, or Grandpa -- I'm very flexible. I have 28 years of experience teaching in an elementary classroom, am an exceptional oral reader, and enjoy bringing out different characters. If you're looking for a fresh voice talent for voiceovers or advertisements, answering machine messages or radio spots, give me a try!

My Voice Experience

Twenty-eight years of classroom teaching, with lots of personal experience in drama and music, narration and public speaking. Most of my vocal experience has been within local institutions (school, church) but I'm interested in trying new frontiers!

My Training

My mother was an English teacher, and I grew up with excellent diction, pronunciation, and projection. Choir and ensemble experience taught me to project and enunciate carefully; years in the classroom taught me to be precise and articulate. Decades of acting in dramatic roles taught me timing and characterization. On top of all that, I'm an extrovert and just oozing with self-confidence!

My Studio Equipment

I have a small digital recording unit, which allows me to make mp3 files from recordings.

Additional Skills

I'm an exceptionally good reader, familiar with a wide variety of technical jargon (medical, engineering, scientific, educational), and have a neutral American accent (born in "Joyzee", raised in central California!) Experienced vocalist in choirs, ensembles, quartets; instrumentalist (guitar, bass, folk instruments); and composer (synthesizer w/ drum machine). I'm good with kids and adults! I'll be retiring from teaching in about 5 years, and would like to develop voice talent work as a second career.
