My Voice Experience

Did an on camera commercial for CFS "From Soup to Nuts" It was a great experience and I had gotten alot of notice from it. It was on news channel 12 here on long island.
Also did a radio commercial on WFAN during the Mike and the Mad dog show and Imus in the morning (when he was still on), channel 660am. It was for Madpackers - I was a college student packing up to move back home with mom and dad. That spot ran 16 weeks.
I am also the voice for a Medical Business in Nassau county for their on hold messaging system. I've done 2 salon on hold messaging systems and 15 sec spot for a new website in Vegas
I work with another medical business on a monthly basis, and read copy for their featured practicioner of the week that airs on the radio.
Working on the narration for 4 childrens books set for DVD release.
I find the business fantastically interesting and refreshing, and would like to expand to cartoon characters and cartoon/claymation movies! :-)

My Training

Worked with Digital Pictures in Plainview, NY. Linda Bruno is a fantastic instructor! Before that I was going into Manhattan every week, working with Lainie Cooke, a professional voice over artist.
Now I'm doing work with Full House Productions and traveing to Manhatten frequenty.
I'm currently going on auditions in the city for various spots, and enjoying every minute of it. I also continue to take narration classes, cold copy courses and improv classes as well.

My Studio Equipment

Snowball microphone and Mac computer. Audacity is my software

Additional Skills

I'm a go getter - a risk taker, and don't let the small things in life get me down, it's so not worth it. If I see something I like, I go for it - why not - life is too short not to enjoy it as much as you can.
"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today."
