Voice Description

I was originally trained as a singer, giving my voice a rich tone and broad range. My natural voice is deep and authoritative, making it perfect for business/corporate projects. My broad range lets me be very versatile and playful in my character work. In live sessions I'm often told that my ability to take direction and make adjustments is laser-sharp.
