My Voice Experience

I have always been one of those people who as soon as I start to speak, a new acquaintance will almost immediately say, "You have such an interesting voice." Through the years, I have heard that I am soothing, calming, clear, seductive, and unique. Until this year, I just took that all as a compliment. When I was immobilized from knee surgery for almost a year, I decided I would finally explore what people have been telling me to do for my entire life. I put my acting degree to use in combination with a voice over coach and finally recorded a demo for both commercials and audiobooks.
