Voice Description

I am a veteran news broadcaster and as such I project an air of authority in every voice project I do.

But I also interpret each script differently - from smooth and sexy to the conversational "best friend next door".

I have been called "The girl next door with brains"

My range can be described as: warm and friendly; conversational; smooth and mellow and I offer a wide ranging variety of character voices. I can portray a small child (male or female),teen-ager, Latina, an Irish grandmother, or a matriarch from Texas. I can be sexy/smooth/romantic as well.

I've done all sorts of narrations. From serious television documentaries and TV series to corporate sales presentations, audio books, podcasts and webinars/ELearning sessions.

My voice is familiar to international audiences though my years of Television and radio exposure.
