My Voice Experience

Persistence in any endeavor separates those who succeed from those who do not. My desire to achieve and have happy and satisfied clients drives me to build upon my past success in VO, and continue to execute excellent work in this industry. I have completed projects varying from Diversity Training for the Red Cross, to Sales and Marketing presentations for Caterpillar. Whether it be Voice Mail systems or regional/national commercials, I have the experience to tackle any project you might have!

Additional Skills

Your success on a project is my success! Getting you exactly what you want, when you want it is my goal.

Having run a consulting business for many years, I know how to talk to clients to understand their goals for a project, and the importance of meeting deadlines/timelines, especially on short notice.

I also understand that a great attitude and humor will go a long way, no matter what business you are in.
