I am a newbie to the industry but after watching Pixar moives and my Experimental Theater class, I was encouraged by my friends and professors to actually try pursuing my dream to be a voice actor. I realized that my whole life was filled with my many "alter egos" and it brings me great joy to make others laugh while listening to a story or scene that I perform. Through my internship with Surf 98.3 Wilmington's New Rock, I was given the chance to read multiple public service announcments for the Pink Ribbon Fund, local events and fundraisers. I also had the opportunity to speak on air and off the cuff. Held a production internship with Surf 98.3 Wilmington's New Rock in Wilmington, NC where I got experience working the board and also creating House of Blues spots and PSA's. I was in the musical Ebenezer: The Christmas Carol, playing the role of Belle, directed by Frank Trimble. I took Experimental Theater in 2008-09 where I further devloped my acting skills and accents. As a Communication Studies major, I had multiple public speaking assignments, on camera work for other classes, and Advertising and Marketing classes. Adobe Audition 2.0, types of microphones- ElectroVoice RE20, access to music bites. This past summer I taught English in Croatia for two months. While there I hung out with Croatians and Bosnians and a large group of British people. I worked on my accents with them and got first hand experience listening to the differences in each of their voices. While attending the University of North Carolina Wilmington, I recieved 1 of 15 Senior Medallion Awards that recognized outstanding leadership and involvment from the 1,500 graduates. I'm a self motivated and driven individual with a great zeal for life. I enjoy making others laugh, especially by using my voices to add to the humor. Being a Communication Studies and Studio Art major, I combine my creativity with my excellent public speaking and interpersonal communcation skills to develope my character and commercial voices.
