Mexican accent, Spanish accent, French accent, non-descript European accent. I can also do many character voices. My voice was featured in several multi-media projects ("Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?", "Dr. Seuss' ABC's," "The Berenstein Bears", "Stellaluna")

My Voice Experience

I was born in Mexico to an American mother and a Mexican father of Irish descent. We spoke English and Spanish at home so I was gifted with two "native" tongues, English and Spanish. Later, I picked up Portuguese, French and Italian.

I am the IVR voice for numerous clients including: Bank of America, Allstate, Suntrust Banks and have recorded for various national and international companies such as Porsche, American Airlines, Alitalia, and Medicare. Because I am a fluent speaker of English, Spanish and French, I can offer several options for clients.

On the commercial front, I was the Spanish voice for the Safeway radio campaigns as well as various other clients including Holy Cross Hospital.

My training is in music and while hired as a composer for Broderbund/Living Books I began doing character voice over work, becoming the voice for various characters in "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego", "The Berenstein Bears" and Dr. Seuss projects.
