Info coming soon! My experience in education has given me the opportunity of not only working with students, but helping me improve my performance as a voice/screen actor. My most important duty is to build relationships with my students. I approach this by referring back to my experience as a performer. I'm the actor, my students are the audience, and my lesson is the script. This especially gives me the opportunity to use my voice talents to portray different characters when stories are read aloud in class.
