My Voice Experience

Most recently I've been working with Marie Osmond in :60 spots and Direct Response Infomercials for GEM Keep It Cool. She is the spokesperson and I'm the upbeat and sincere sales side.

My Voice over career includes thousands of :30 spots for clients ranging from Sleek MedSpa, Natick Federal Bank, Sun Pacific Realty, San Antonio Winery, Presitge, Thomasville Furniture, Benjamin Moore Paints, Volvo, Fisher & Paykel and Lexus just to name a few.

I've done Infomercial and Instructional voice overs for companies including Time Warner, GEM and Allergan as well as St. Joseph's Hospital and Memorial Care Centers.

I hosted a Real Estate program for 3 years.

I worked on several in-house promotional videos for a fitness center and that was great fun!

I even did a Barbara Walters on-camera impression for a :30 spot about 15 years ago. It was hilarious! I'll never forget it!

Additional Skills

It didn't take me long to figure out that I had a talent for doing voice overs and working with clients. I'm great at finding out what a client wants and delivering exactly what they envisioned and I'm passionate about 'getting it right'. I'm very easy to work with and I'm excited about every new job. A woman I worked with at Charter Communications used to tell me often that I had more finesse than anyone in the business!

I've been recording voice-overs for about 20 years and almost all of it is through referrals because I get the job done well and on time.

My background is in Producing and Creative Directing. I know both sides of the fence. I know what the clients are looking for and I know how to get a good performance out of talent, including myself!
