My Voice Experience

I created my first voiceover gig when I was seven. I voiced the imaginary flying white horse that followed me everywhere and counseled me whenever I was overcome by the trials and tribulations of my seven-year existence. I was apparently fantastic because that horse and I had some amazing conversations. Damn shame I didn't get paid for that one.

Moving forward in time...I got my first taste of actual voiceover work at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry where I voiced four different animal characters--two juvenile mongooses, and elderly mongoose, and an evil snake--for an exhibit that described how some animal species, like the mongoose, take care of and protect their elderly.

My Training

I have been a theatre actor for over twenty years at non-profit small professional-level theatres in Portland, Vancouver (WA), northeastern Michigan, Seattle, and Port Townsend (WA).

I keep my voice tuned as a mezzo soprano by studying and performing music in the classical, Broadway, and jazz genres.

My undergraduate degree from San Diego State University is in Zoology and Behavior. I also have a graduate degree in Anatomy from the University of British Columbia.

I was a primate keeper at the San Diego Zoo for four years, taught middle school math and science, and taught college level life sciences for almost ten years. I have been a successful freelance science education writer and editor since 1997.

OS: Mac OS X 10.6.8

Additional Skills

I am happy to say that I have been a gainfully self-employed Freelance Science Education Writer since 1997. Therefore, I have extensive knowledge and expertise in writing about, and lecturing on the life and medical sciences. As a result, I am quite comfortable with scientific and medical jargon and terminology.

In contrast, I genuinely love using my voice to create a mood, a feeling, a tear, or a giggle.

When I'm not writing science stuff, I'm an actor in the Seattle/Olympic Peninsula area.
