Voice Description

Authentic Sound
Upbeat/Energetic/Fun Delivery
Professional/Serious/Empathetic Delivery

Husband & I BOTH do Voice Overs - have produced "Two-Voicer male/female" Commercials and On-Hold Messaging in any style...be it professional, conversational, or silly. An alternating male/female On-Hold Message is so much more interesting to listen to (see demos).

Two Jobs that stand out for me are:
1) Playfull read for Sunrype when I lived in Kelowna, BC
2) Authentic role in a TV commercial for Sleep Country Canada that aired across Canada for over 2 years.

My Voice Experience

I have personally created, written & voiced, advertising campaigns that work. Sorento Homes sold first duplex 10 days after radio campaign started. Sold 25-30 (out of 40 total) units in one season! (Spring-Fall)

Wrote and produced 2 jingles (one was for Sorento).

Prior to freelance, I worked full time in radio and TV, sales and marketing, which has proven to be valuable experience for what I can do for you today

My Training

20 year career in Broadcast, Sales & Marketing.
WABC Broadcast College
-Radio Diploma
-TV Certificate
News anchor, reporting, radio news, redio shows (d.j.)
Voice overs for employees and freelance clients.

My experience comes from "doing" moreso than "studying", and I learned a great deal that way.

Am approached by business owners to handle their advertising.

Although new to voice-overs in this form, it is a natural next step for me as I have already devoted 20 years to the craft.
