Voice Description

My natural delivery style lends itself to work that is unique and versatile. I tend to excel in a softer-sell or storytelling, humor being where I am most naturally comfortable with wide-ranging emotion being in close proximity.

In commercials, I can give a wide range of delivery and expression. However, hard-sell is not my forte.

For narration, I am conscious of getting an emotional delivery, appropriate for the material.

For presentations/on-hold, I can give a sound, professional, yet younger delivery.

My voice has been called, "prominent, yet not intimidating. unique, but very accessible."

I also do well in French, thought my accent is more Quebecois than Parisian.

My Training

I actually kind of got into this by accident. I have a degree in International Studies and ended up getting hired as a weekend overnight DJ. 14 years later, here we are.

I continue to work on technique with my peers in Portland and with Tom Chantler, a voice pro from San Francisco.
