I have worked as a professional storyteller for 12 years in Colorado Springs. I tell tales all around the state of Colorado at public libraries, day care centers, schools, and assisted living facilities. I use my voice to bring the characters to life. I create puppet shows and rely upon my voice to create different characters. In some cases, I have over twenty characters in one show and each with a different voice. Prior to being a professional storyteller, I was featured at the Pikes Peak Library district on Channel 17 in several commercials and voice overs to promote the library. I was a Radio DJ in College named "Dangerous Denise--heating up the air waves." My show was popular, not because of the music, but because of my sexy, sultry voice. The guys loved my show. I had my show from 1991-1995 at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. I also helped to create numerous commercials while attending the college. I teach voice classes to students that focus on accents and how to speak with drama! I have assisted students in Forensics--speech and debate for two years. Graduated from Morningside College with top honors. Experience with radio, television, and drama. I have acted in numerous plays and melodramas both in college and present. Took classes on accents, voice fluctuation, and many classes on acting. None at this time. Check out my website for more information about me and my talent!
